My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
Recorded by Waylon Jennings (Circa 1996)
Written by Sharon Vaughn


Key of D, with no capo to play along with the youtube video.
In 3/4 time

Note; a GREAT pub/campfire song!


D
I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy
G                 D
Loving the cowboy ways
 
Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes
  E7                     A7
I burned up my childhood days


  D
I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter
          G                     D
Don't you hold onto nothing too long
     G                           D
Just take what you need from the ladies
     G              D          A7          D
Then leave them the words of a sad country song


    G                       D
My heroes have always been cowboys
E7                    A7
And they still are it seems
G                   D               G
Sadly in search of  but one step in back of
    D                A7          D
Themselves and their slow moving dreams

 
 
Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery
     G               D
From being alone too long
    G                                        D
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
        E7                      A7
Knowing well your best days are gone


 
D
Picking up hookers instead of my pen
      G                          D
I let the words of my years fade away
    G                    D
Old worn out saddles old worn out
   G          D          A7          D
Memories with no one and no place to stay



    G                       D
My heroes have always been cowboys
E7                    A7
And they still are it seems
G                   D               G
Sadly in search of  but one step in back of
    D                A7          D
Themselves and their slow moving dreams----
