(Intro.)
 (C) / |(C) / (Am) / |(C) / (Am) / |(C) / / / |

(Verse)
(C)Superman, Man of Steel
(Am)He can fly, but (C)here's the deal
(Am)Superman ain't (C)really real
So (Am)God made somethin' (G)better
His (C)mama says he's just flesh and bone
The (Am)girls say he's a (C)rollin' stone
But (F)shake his hand and (C)then you'll know
A (Am)cowboy's made of (C)leather

(Chorus)
You can (F)bend him, but you can't (C)break him
It takes (Am)years of work and (G)dirt and hurt to (F)make him
When the (C)whole world falls a-(Am)part, he'll (G)hold to-(F)gether
That's (Dm)how you know that a (G)cowboy's made of (C)leather

(Solo)
|(Am)(G)(C) / |(Am)(G)|(C) / /

(Verse)
He'll (C)kick and cuss in broad daylight
When (Am)he gets drunk, he (C)likes to fight
But his (Am)head's on straight and his (C)heart gets right
(Am)When he's under (G)pressure
And (C)he'll start out stiff and rough
But (F)give him time and he'll (C)soften up
And (Am)that just makes him (C)twice as tough
Yeah, a (Am)cowboy's (G)made of (C)leather

(Chorus)
'Cause you can (F)bend him, but you can't (C)break him
It takes (Am)years of work and (G)dirt and hurt to (F)make him
And when the (F)whole world falls a-(Am)part, he'll (G)hold to-(F)gether
That's (Dm)how you know that a (G)cowboy's made of (C)leather

(Post-Chorus)
Yippee-ki-(F)o, yippee-ki-(C)ay
Yippee-ki-(F)o-ooo-(G)oo
Yippee-ki-(Am)o, yippee-ki-(F)ay
Yippee-ti-yi-(C)o-ooo-(G)oo

(Chorus)
You can (F)bend him, but you can't (C)break him
It takes (Am)years of work and (G)dirt and hurt to (F)make him
And when the (F)whole world falls a-(Am)part, he'll (G)hold to-(F)gether
That's (Dm)how you know that a (G)cowboy's made of (Am)leather (G) (F)

(Outro.)
(Em)Yeah, that's (Dm)how you know that a (G)cowboy’s made of (C)leather
