D
Daddy knew that he was tuff
D
When old doc Windsor slapped his butt
G
The night he was born
D
He just smiled

D
Bed sheets for a parachute
D
He jumped off that old barn roof
G
When old doc set his arm
G                                      Bm
He said I guess I was wrong thinking I could fly

G                                                                          
He?s been busted, bruised, and broken,
G                                      D              A
brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight
   G                                       D 
I know it must hurt like hell when a cowboy cries

D
Got rolled in a holdin pen
D
By a rank bull out in old Cheyenne
G
They say he broke five ribs
D
Nearly lost his left eye

D
One night he straightened out a curve
D
With a pick up truck outside Fort Worth
G
When they finally cut him out
G
Put a Marlboro in his mouth
Bm
And bummed a light

G                                                                          
He?s been busted, bruised, and broken,
G                                      D              A
brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight
   G                                       Bm 
I know it must hurt like hell when a cowboy cries

G
And as a teardrop hit his whiskey glass
G
He said the only true love I?ll ever have
E
Just walked out the door
G                                 A
She said she didn?t love me anymore.

[Solo]
G A

G
Yeah, He?s been busted, bruised, and broken,
G                                          D
brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight
A
Not tonight
G
It must hurt like hell
G
It must hurt like hell
D
When a cowboy cries
