| Song: | My Heroes Have always been cowboys
3 4 4 -4 4 3 I grew up a-dreamin' 3 5 5 -5 5 4 Of being a cowboy 3 4 4 -4 4 3 3 And lovin' the cowboy way. 4 4 4 -4 5 Persuin' the lives 4 4 -6 6 -5 5 4 Of my high-riding heroes -4 -4 -4 5 -4 -4 Burned up my childhood days. 3 4 4 -4 4 3 I learned all the rules of 4 6 6 -6 6 5 A modern-day drifter: 3 3 4 4 -4 4 4 3 3 3 Don't ya hold on to nothin' for to long. 3 4 4 -4 5 Just take what you need 4 -4 -6 6 -5 5 4 From the ladies and leave them 4 4 5 3 3 -4 5 -4 4 With the words of a sad country song. 3 4 4 4 -4 4 -4 5 4 My Heroes have always been cowboys, 4 4 4 -4 4 3 And they still are it seems. 4 4 -4 5 4 Sadly in search of -4 -6 6 -5 5 4 And one step in back of 4 5 3 3 -4 5 -4 4 Themselves and their slow moving dreams. Cowboys are special, With their own brand of mis'ry From being alone for too long. Lyin' in the cold In the arms of a nightmare Knowing well that your best days are done. Pickin' up hookers Instead of my pen I let the words of my youth slip away. And old broke down saddles And old worn out mem'ries With no one, and no place to stay. |
