INTRO:   [D]   [A7]   [D]

[D]Pushin' horns weren't [D/F#]easy like the [G]movies said it was [D]
And I [D]don't recall no [A7sus4]dance hall girls or [A7]hotel rooms with rugs
You worked [D]hot and tired and nas[D/F#]ty rode you [G]pony's head too [D]low
There were [D]all the nights you [A7]couldn't sleep 'cause [G]it was too damn [G]cold 
And you'd sing, [D]Strawberry [A7]Roan and Little [D]Joe

Like the [D]time we hit the ri[D/F#]ver and the [G]rains began to fall [D]
And the [D]water was rising [A7sus4]so damn fast we [A7]thought it'd drown us all
We [D]lost a lot of [D/F#]steers that day and [G]four or five good [D]mounts
But when [D]all the boys rode in[A7]to camp [G]we knew that's whatcounts
And we sang, [D]Yippie Ti Yi [A7]Yay and Amazing [D]Grace

Or the [Bm]night the broke be[F#m]hind us and then they [G]took us by surprise [D]
I [Bm]whistled out the [F#m]Bonner I seen the [G]terror in his [Asus2]eyes [A]
And he [Dsus2]rode for all his [D/F#]horse would ride and I [G]know he done his best
But [D]he crossed over [A7]Jordan ridin' [G]Dunny to his death
And we sang, [D]Bringin' in the [A7]Sheaves and the Rugged [D]Cross

INSTRUMENTAL:  [D]    [D/F#]    [G]    [D]
               [D]    [A7sus4]  [A7]   [A7]
               [D]    [D/F#]    [G]    [D]
               [D]    [A7]      [G]    [D]

So [D]when you see that cow[D/F#]boy he's not [G]ragged by his choice [D]
He [D]never meant to [A7sus4]bow them legs or put that[A7]  gravel in his voice
He's just [D]chasin' what he [D/F#]really loves and what's [G]burning in his soul [D]
[D]Wishin' to God that [A7]he'd been born and [G]hundred years ago
Still singin', [D]Strawberry [A7]Roan and Little Joe [D]
