Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys (American Outlaws: Live at Nassau Co... chords
Start Jamming...
[D] Now boys ain't easy to love and they're [G] harder to hold
Let [A]
brother give you a song than diamonds [D] ago
Long star bell buckles and old faded Levi's [G] and each night begins a new day
And [A] if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably [D] just ride away
[G] [A] Cowboy
Don't pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let me doctors and lawyers [D] and sluts
Mama don't let your babies grow [G] up to be cowboys
[A] They'll never stay home, and they're always small
Even with someone [D] they love
[E] Yeah boys like smokey old pool rooms and [A] clear night mornings
[B] Little warm puppies and children [E] and girls of the night
And then that don't know him won't like him and then that blue [A] sometimes don't know how to take
He ain't [B] wrong.
He's just different, but his pride won't let him do things to make you [E] think he's right
Mama don't let your babies [A] grow up to be cowboys
[B] Don't pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let me doctors and lawyers [E] and sluts
Mama don't let your babies grow up [A] to be cowboys
[B] They'll never stay home, and they're always small
Even with [E] someone they love
