Hang on Cowboy

D              Bm           F#m              A
Brent told mom it’s how you ride not how you look

So don’t shine my boots
D              Bm           F#m           A
She told Brent it’s how you look when you win
                           D
So let me shine them again
          G              D     Bm                  A
And as he headed for the rodeo she just smiled and said
     G                     Bm
Just hold on tight son and don’t let go
        F#m                         A
Are the only two things you need to know…

(chorus)
D                   Bm          F#m
Just hang on cowboy hang on for me
         A                                 D
I’m your biggest fan it ain’t that hard to see
               Bm          F#m
Hang on cowboy to all your dreams
         A                               D
Give ‘em hell but just come back home to me

D             Bm             F#m
Brent went on to ride at the show
            A
He wouldn’t stop till he was at the top
D               Bm         F#m
Dad stayed calm by the telephone
                A                         D
Didn’t sleep at all till he got the call
               G             D
Brent said I’m eight seconds away from fame
Bm                 A
Dad do you think I can?
    G                  Bm
And he just sighed and then replied
     F#m                       A
I’ve never had more faith in a man

(repeat chorus)
       A
And he gave his life for what he loved
        G                 A
But his memory won’t ever die
           Bm                G            A
And we all know the Lord and he look from above
           G
And we can see him hangin’ on
                       A   D
To that big blue Texas sky

(solo)

(repeat chorus)
