Whatcha gonna do with a cowboy? (midi) (sample)

G

1. I can see you got your eye on this ol' cowboy,

C

I can tell you've never had one for your own.

Well, you've never been around one

G E

now you're thinkin' that you found one,

A                     D7

and it might be kinda' fun to take him home.

G

2. You giggle every time that I say, "Yes, ma'am",

C

and I get this feelin', if I held you tight,

you'd be seein' his and her's,

G E

buckles, boots, and spurs

A D G

but that's a feelin' you'd get over overnight

C                          G

'Cause what you gonna' do with a cowboy,

C                                G

when that ol' rooster crows at dawn ?

     C G E

When he's lyin' there instead of getting' out of bed,

A                                          D

and puttin' on his boots and getting' gone.

C                               G

And what you gonna do when he says, "Honey.

C                 G

"I got half a mind to stay."

C                         G - E

What you gonna do with a cowboy,

A                       D G

when he don't saddle up and ride away.

G

3. Well, you can see it takes a special kinda woman

C

to put up with the life a cowboy leads,

‘cause his boots are always muddy,

G E

and his beer drinkin' buddies,

A D7.

they'll camp out on your couch and never leave

G

4. Don't even start to think you're gonna change him,

C

you'd be better off tryin' to rope the wind.

‘Cause what he is, is what you've got,

G E

and he can't be what he's not,

A D G

and honey, you can't hide him from your friends.

+ CHORUS +

C                         G - E

What you gonna do with a cowboy,

A                       D G

when he don't saddle up and ride away.
