My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I g[A]rew[D] up[A] a-[D] dreamin'
of bein' a cow[A]boy
[D]And [G]lovin' the cowboy ways
[D][A][D]
Pursuin' the life of my high- ridin' heroes
[E]I burned up my childhood d[A]ays
I [D]learned all the rules of the modern-
day [G]drifter
Don't you hold on to nothin' too [D]long
Just [G]take what you need from the [D]ladies,
then [G]leave them
With the [D]words of a [A]sad
country [D]song
[G]My heroes have always been [D]cowboys[E]
And they still are, it [A]seems
[G]Sadly, in search of,
but [D]one step in [G]back of
Them[D]selves and their [A]slow-
movin' dreams
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Cowboys are special with
their own brand of misery
From be[G]ing alone too [D]long
You could die from the cold in
the arms of a nightman
Knowin' [E]well that your best
days are [A]gone
[D]Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen
I let the [G]words of my years fade [D]away
Old [G]worn- out saddles,
and [D]'old worn- out [G]memories
With [D]no one and [A]no place to [D]stay

[Verse 3]
My [G]heroes have always been [D]cowboys
[E]And [Em]they still are, it [A]seems
[G]Sadly, in search of,
but [D]one step in [G]back of
Them[Asus4]selves an[D]d t[Asus4]heir
[A]slow- [D]movin' dreams

[Verse 4]
[G]Sadly, in search of,
but [D]one step in [G]back of
Them[D]selves and their
[A]slow- movin' [G]dreams
[D]
