The boys ain't easy to learn, they're [G] hard to behold
Let
[A] brother give you a song and [D] diamonds of gold
Longstar 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 just [D] ride away
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to [G] be cowboys
[A] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let them be doctors and lawyers [D] as well
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [G] cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always lonely
Levi's is [D] someone they love
[E] Cowboys like smokey old rooms and clear [A] mountain mornings
[B] Little warm puppies and children and girls of the [E] night
And them that don't know him won't let him
And them that do [A] sometimes won't know how to take it
He [B] ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's [E] right
Mamas don't let your babies grow [A] up to be cowboys
[B] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let them be doctors and lawyers [E] as well
Mamas don't let your babies grow [A] up to be cowboys
[B] They'll never stay home and they're always lonely
Levi's is someone [E] they love
Let
[A] brother give you a song and [D] diamonds of gold
Longstar 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 just [D] ride away
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to [G] be cowboys
[A] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Let them be doctors and lawyers [D] as well
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [G] cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always lonely
Levi's is [D] someone they love
[E] Cowboys like smokey old rooms and clear [A] mountain mornings
[B] Little warm puppies and children and girls of the [E] night
And them that don't know him won't let him
And them that do [A] sometimes won't know how to take it
He [B] ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's [E] right
