Intro & played throughout the song
Am F G Em

           Am                         F
Well I was ridin' down the road on my quarter horse
      G                        Em
And I roped them doggies and I brand 'em of course
      Am                  F
I got spurs on my feet, a rope in my hand,
      G                          Em
Got a pistol om my side, I'm the quickest in the land
      Am      F  G  Em  Am  F  G  Em
I'm a cowboy


Chorus:
         Am                  F
Head 'em up, move 'em out, a cowboy ain't a man
       G                        Em 
He's a special kinda breed that lives off the land
      Am               F  
I'm a cowboy man, that ain't no lie
              G                          Em
And if you're gonna mess with me, you're gonna have to die
      Am      F  G  Em  Am  F  G  Em
I'm a cowboy



Well I can ride in the shoulder and rope on the range
To the people in the city I look kinda strange
Got Justin boots and Resistol hat
And for every single day I will look like that

I was raised in the hills with horses and stuff
And I grew to be strong and I learned to be tough
I don't mind the city, 'cuz I went to school there
But they got their own problems and I don't real care
I'm a cowboy

Chorus

Well I gotta fix fence and I gotta load hay
And I gotta brand calfs if I wanna get paid
I work real hard to make the cattle grow
Cause a cowboy is full time job ya know

That's my way life it would seem
If you cant live it that way, you best go away
So I rope my steers and live real rough
Cause if you're gonna be a cowboy ya gotta be tough
I'm a cowboy


Last Chorus:
Head 'em up, move 'em out a cowboy ain't a man
He's a special kinda breed that lives off the land
I'm a cowboy man that ain't no s**t
And if you're gonna mess with me you're gonna get hit
