Intro
[D] [Gm] [C] [D] [Em] [Am]
Verse
[D] [G] [C] [D] [Em] [Am]
Little cowboy, you've been ridin' since the early mornin' sun
[Am] [D] [G] [Gm] [C] [D] [Am7] [Bb]
Find the mavericks where they're hidin', ropin' dogies one by one
[C] [D] [Gm] [D] [F]
With your six-gun always ready, for the bad guy strikin' you down
[A7] [Dmaj7] [Gm] [Cmaj7] [D] [A] [D]
On your pinto strong and steady, you can run them right out of town.
[D] [G] [Gbm7] [Em7] [Gm] [Gbm]
There's a friendly breeze always blowin', makin' tumbleweed tumble by,
[D7] [Bm] [Gbm7]
And the purple sage where it's growin',
[Bm7] [Bbmaj7] [Am7]
seems to touch the distant prairie sky.
Chorus
[D] [Bm] [Gm] [C] [D] [Dmaj7] [Fmaj7]
Now it's evenin', time for sleepin', cattle lowin' over the rise
[A7] [Dmaj7] [Gm] [Cmaj7]
Round the bunkhouse, shadows creepin',
[Dmaj7] [A7] [Bbmaj7]
little cowboy, close your eyes.
[Cmaj7] [Dmaj7] [Am7]
cowboy, close your eyes.
[D] [Am7]
close your eyes.
[D] [Am7]
close your eyes.
[D] [Am7]
close your eyes.
[D] [C]
close your eyes.
[D] [Gm] [C] [D] [Em] [Am]
