D                             D                 G                 D 
Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movie said it was 
                            D                          A 
A7 
and I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs. 
                 D 
You worked hot and tired and nasty, 
              G                     D 
rode your pony's head too low. 
                                          A 
There were all the nights you couldn't sleep 
         G 
cause it was too damn cold; 
                       D              A                      D 
and you'd sing "Strawberry Roan and "Little Joe". 
D                                D                 G                 D 
Like the time we hit the river and the rain began to fall; 
                                   D                       A 
A7 
and the water was risin' so damn fast we thought it'd drown us all. 
      D                                           G                      D 
We lost a lot of steers that day and four or five good mounts. 
                                       A             G 
But when all the boys rode into camp we knew that's what counts; 
                    D               A                           D 
and we sang "Yippee Tiyiyay" amd "Amazing Grace"; 
         Bm                                               G               D 
or the night they broke behind us and then took us by surprise. 
                        D                       A               A7 
I whistled out to Bonner I seen the terror in his eyes. 
           D                   D7                            G 
D 
And he rode for all his horse would ride and I know he done his best. 
                             A                 G 
But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death. 
                    D                    A 
D 
And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross". 
D                              D                    G                   D 
So when you see the cowboy he's not ragged by his choice. 
                           D                                       A 
A7 
He never meant to bow those legs or put that gravel in his voice. 
             D                                                      G 
D 
He's just chasin' what he really loves and what's burnin' in his soul. 
                            A                       G 
Wishin' to God that he'd been born a hundred years ago. 
                  D             A                        D 
Still singin' "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe". 
 
 
 
This sounds right to me.  Enjoy!  [email protected]
