VERSE:
           G                      Cadd9
While the world keeps changing he won't budge an inch
 D
He'd ride lightening and never even flinch
             G                        Cadd9
He tips his hat to the ladies and the legends too
  D
Skoal ring on his pocket just like Chris LeDoux


PD-C HORUS:
Am                    D
He loves whiskey and rolling smokes
Am7                   D
Campfires, songs and old man jokes


CHORUS:
          Cadd9             G
Long live cowboys, chasing gold buckle dreams
 Em7                       D
Pearl snap shirts and old faded blue jeans
          Cadd9                    G
Real life cowboys who weather the wind and the rain
     Em7         D
Like desperados waiting on a train

       Am                          D
Thosе honky tonk heroes and their six string guitars
   Am                             D
Outlaw troubadours bеneath those neon stars
           G
Long live cowboys

VERSE:
       G                       Cadd9
Well, listen up girl your mama learned first hand
 D
The reason they don't call him a cowman
        G               Cadd9
He's a cowboy, he won't always save the day
            D
He'll ride off into the sunset even when he should stay


PD-C HORUS:
 Am                       D
And the same thing that stole your heart
        Am                           D
Is the same dang thing that's gonna tear it apart

PD-C HORUS:
            Am                         D
Naw, he'll never settle down, and you can't tame his soul
       Am7                 D
He was    born a hundred years too slow
