A Cowboy's Got to Ride - Chris LeDoux 

   Here we go, again this is off of Chris LeDoux's web page. 

   A little while ago, I found out how to really play this song. You need a capo at 
the 3rd fret, and play a D chord for the F, an A for the C, and a C for the Eb. 
It makes it sound alot better. 

1st verse 

             [F]           [C]        [F]
  Well your Mama finds it hard to understand,
            [F]                          [C]
  Why her loving son wants to be a rodeo man.
             [Eb]                                      [F]
  And your Daddy had a whole lotta great big plans for you.
       [F]                           [C]                [F]
  You hate to dissapoint him but you got other things to do.
            [F]                  [C]               [F]
  Now your best girl thinks it's time you settled down.
         [F]                                         [C]
  You finaly graduated and she's ready for a wedding gown,
                 [Eb]                                        [F]
  But there's a great big world just a waitin' out there for you,
                [F]                    [C]                  [F]
  And if she really loves you, she can wait another year or two.



Chorus

       [F]               [C]             [F]
 And nobody really knows how you feel inside. 
       [F]                               
 The road gets rough and the going gets tough,
         [C]
 But you know you got to try.
          [Eb]               [Bb]              [F]  [Bb]
 And there ain't no way your ever gonna change your mind.
           [F]           [C]             [Eb] 
 Don't everybody know a cowboys got to ride.



2nd Verse 


 Now your highschool buddies say,"Man, you've gone insane".

 Don't you know rodeo's a crazy foolish game.

 But you can see in their eyes a little bit of jealosy.

 They're all be working 9 to 5 and your footloose and fance free.

 

  Chorus and Tag. 

    There ya go! Now all it needs is a solo.........
