Cowboys they are ladies men alright
      D7                            G7
They love 'em up & talk 'em up all night
             C                                  F
But they're lonely when there's nothin' else to do
    G7                                      C
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues


He does a little Shakespere & he sings
He plays the mandolin & other things
He looks for love, beauty & I.Q.
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

chorus.....

G                                 F               C
Cowboys have to fall in love get hurt & all that bit
G                                      F               C
Let thier hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit
                                 F
So ladies if they ask you don't refuse
C                    G7               C
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues


inst verse.........

Cowboys they don't ever understand
This thing between a woman & a man
Untill they find the one they always lose
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues

chorus.......

A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand
And tries to make somebody understand
But she has ears to hear a different tune
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
