A                            E
Ramblin' fever took him when he was 21
          A                     B
Tonight's rodeo is over but the fight has just begun
       A                             E                 A
He was pounded into the ground while chasin' after his dream
    D                                B
But he ain't one for layin' down and livin' in misery

[Chorus]
           E 
You gotta' cowboy up, dust yourself off
    E                           A        B 
Get back in the saddle, give it one more try
E 
Sweat and blood, it takes all you got
         E                   A         B
Cuz' the road to heaven is a hell of a ride
    B 
The tough get goin' when the goin' gets rough
          A
Cuz' they know they got to cowboy up

   A
He stopped off at a road side bar
   E
To have him a beer or two
       A
He was leanin' on the juke box
        B
When he saw her across the room
   A
He asked her for a dance
              E                     A
Cuz' he had a case of love at first sight
    D 
But he didn't take it personal
         B
When she said you're not my type

[Chorus]
Solo - Hey

     A
From business suits to cowboy boots 
   E
It hurts when you get thrown
    A
But if you're gonna' be the best
         B
Well you got to get back on
