Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  Well, it's true he'd always been a traveler

  The kind a woman never tries to rope

Maybe he never really loved me

The truth is, I didn't want to know

  Oh 'cause that just would have made it harder

  To find a smile when it was time to let him go

Maybe he wants to be cowboy

Lord I know how much he loves to roam

  And I can't say that I really blame him, oh

  But someday even cowboys go home

And I saved all my love letters

  If I ever sent them he'd see

  That's the hardest that I've ever

  Tried not to let somebody love me

  Maybe if he knew all my secrets

  Maybe he could write another song

  And sure it might be a sad story

  But maybe with the ending that I wanted all along

  'Cause I saved all my pennies for the well

  It was just my wishes that were wrong

Maybe he wants to be cowboy

Lord I know how much he loves to roam

  And I can't say that I really blame him, oh

 But someday even cowboys go home

And I saved all my love letters

  If I ever sent them he'd see

  That's the hardest that I've ever

  Tried not to let somebody love me

Maybe I'm just wasting time

Living life out all alone

  But one thing I know

  Hearts don't break on their own

  And that's why we keep wandering down this road

Maybe he wants to be cowboy

Lord I know how much he loves to roam

  And I can't say that I really blame him, oh

  But someday even cowboys go home

And I saved all my love letters

  If I ever sent them he'd see

  That's the hardest that I've ever

  Tried not to let somebody love me, oh, hey
