_ _ _ Hello everybody. _ _
_ Um, this old stuff, I grew up on all this. _
_ _ I was listening to it today and _ _ _ _ it did what it_
I was listening to this very song actually and it did what it's supposed to do.
It depressed me and made me want to drink a beer.
So, _ because of this very song I actually went out to the store and bought me some Corona.
And I felt so strongly about this song today that I just had to sing it for you.
So, um, this is My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys by William Nelson. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I grew up dreaming, _ being a cowboy, _ [Ab] _
loving the [Eb] cowboy way. _ _
_ _ Pursuing _ _ _ high riding heroes, [F] _ _ earned up my [Bb] childhood days.
_ _ [Ab]
[Eb] I learned all _ _ modern day drifter, [Ab] don't you hold on to nothing [Eb] too long.
_ _ _ [Ab] Just take what you need [Eb] from the ladies then [Ab] leave them with the words of a sad country song.
My _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
heroes have [Eb] always been cowboys, _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ they still are [Bb] it seems.
_ [Ab] _ Sadly in search [Eb] of the one stepping back of themselves, a slow moving dream. _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ Cowboys are special, _ their own brand of misery.
_ [Ab] Being alone [Eb] too long, _ _ you can die from the cold.
The arms of a nightmare, [F]
knowing well that your best [Bb] days are gone. _
_ _ [Eb] Picking up hookers instead of my pen, I let [Ab] the words of my youth [Eb] fade away.
_ _ _ [Ab]
Old worn out sounds, [Eb] _ old worn out memories, no one, [Bb] no place to [Eb] stay. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] My heroes have always [Eb] been cowboys, _ _ [F] _ _ they still are [Bb] it seems.
_ _ [Ab] _
Sadly in search [Eb] of the one [Ab] stepping back of [Eb] themselves, a slow moving dream.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ Sadly in search [Eb] of the one [Ab] stepping back of [Eb]
themselves, a slow moving dream. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Thank you.
