[Verse 1]
F      Gm                    C
Little Dusty is a cowboy all day,
Gm                    C       F
Dressed in chaps and everything.
          G                         C
When it’s bedtime at the end of his day,
G                      C
You can hear his daddy sing.

F            Gm      Cm   F           Gm    Cm
Make-believe cowboy, your play is all through
F                 Bb           C         F
Your make-believe bunkhouse is ready for you.
Bb
The outlaws are a rounded up
F            Eb     D
The rustlers are in hand.
   G
So put away your chaps and spurs,
     C
Your gang you can disband.

[Chorus]
F            Gm     Cm      F          Gm C
Make-believe cowboy you’re hittin’ the hay
F                 Bb          Bbm          A
Your make-believe shootin’ is done for the day.
     Bb           Eb      F       D
Your little brown pony is watered and fed
    Gm                          G   C   F
So, make-believe cowboy, you’re off to bed.

Your make-believe shootin’ is done for the day.
     Bb         Eb         F       D
Your little pal Trigger is watered and fed
    Gm                          G   C  F
So, make-believe cowboy, you’re off to bed.

[Outro]

Make-believe cowboy, Good Night.
