G                         Am
Las Vegas, back in ‘05, a million dollars all on one ride
C                G                   D
J.W. tied me in, said make sure you get him right
G                                Am
This is what you’ve been waiting for all these years
C                         G              D
Just before I nodded, he hollered in my ear
 


G                         Am
Whatever you do don’t let go
      C                             G
It’s time to be a cowboy don’t you know

If you get through this you got it whipped 
     Am
But till you hear the whistle blow
     C                      G
Whatever you do, Don’t let go


G Am C G

Verse Chords:
 
Six months later things got a little rough at home
She had me so turned around, I thought about gettin gone
I was telling J.W. about it, over a couple beers
He said if you lose one that good, you’ll regret this day for years
 
Chorus Chords:

Whatever you do don’t let go
It’s time to be a cowboy don’t you know
If you get through this you got it whipped 
There’ll be better days down the road
So whatever you do, Don’t let go

G Am C G

F                      C (walk down the 5th string to Am)
It’s always something, another bull to ride
Am                          C              D
No life ain’t easy, so you better hold on tight
 
Chorus Chords:

Whatever you do don’t let go
It’s time to be a cowboy don’t you know
If we get through this we’ve got it whipped 
There’ll be better days down the road
So whatever you do, Don’t let go
 
 G        Am
Don’t let go
         C                     G
Yeah whatever you do don’t let go
G         Am
Don’t let go
         C                             G
Keep on holding on and holding on and holding on
G         Am        C         G
Don’t let go
