[D]
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're [G] harder to hold
[A] They'd rather give you a song than [D] diamonds or gold
Long star belt buckles and old faded [G] Levi's
And each night begins a new day
[A] If you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just [D] ride away
Mamas don't let your babies grow [G] up to be cowboys
[A] Don't let them pick guitars or drive their motors
Let them be doctors and [D] lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies grow [G] up to be cowboys
They [A]
never stay home and they're always alone
Even with [D] someone they love
[E] Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms and clear [A] mountain mornings
Little [B] warm puppies and children and [E] girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that [A] do sometimes won't know how to take it
[B] He ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him do things to make you [E] think he's right
Mamas don't let your babies grow [A] up to be cowboys
[B]
Don't let them pick guitars or drive their motors
Let them be doctors and [E] lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to [A] be cowboys
They [B] never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone [E] they love
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
[A] [B]
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're [G] harder to hold

[A] If you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just [D] ride away
Mamas don't let your babies grow [G] up to be cowboys
[A] Don't let them pick guitars or drive their motors
Let them be doctors and [D] lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies grow [G] up to be cowboys
They [A]
