Chords for Waylon Jennings - My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys (lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ I grew up a dreamin' of bein' a [G] cowboy
The _ _ cow _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] pursuing _ the life of my high ridin' heroes
[E] I burned up [Bm] my [A] childhood days _ _ _
[E] _ [D] I learned all _ of the modern [A] day drifter
[D] Don't you hold on to nothing too long _ _ _
[G] Just take what you need [D] from the ladies
[G] Then leave them [D] with the words [A] of a sad [D] country song _ _
_ [G] Mighty roads have always [D] been _ cowboys _
[E] And _ [B] they still [A] are it _ seems _
_ [G] Sadly in search of [D] one steppin' [G] back of themselves
And [A] the slow [D] movin' dreams _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Cowboys are special with their own brand [A] of misery
[G] From bein' alone too long _ _
You could die from the cold
In the arms of a nightmare
[E] Knowin' well your best [A] days are gone _ _
_ [D] _ _ Deckin' up hookers instead of [A] my pen
I let the words of my youth fade _ away _
_ [G] Old worn out saddles
[D] And old worn [G] out memories
[D] But no one had no place to stay _ _
[G] Mighty _ roads have always [D] been _ cowboys _
[E] And _ they still [A] are it seems _ _
_ [G] Sadly in search of [D] one [G] steppin' back of [D] themselves
[A] And the slow [G] movin' dreams _ _
_ _ _ Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
