Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

  D Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder Gto hold

  AThey'd rather give you a song than diamoDnds or gold

  Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each nGight begins a new day

  If Ayou don't understand him and he don't die young

  He'll probably just ride aDway

Chorus

  DMamas don't let your babies grow up to be Gcowboys

  Don't lAet them pick guitars and drive them old trucks

  Make them be doctors and lawyers and sDuch

  Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cGowboys

  They'll nAever stay home and they're always alone

  Even with someone they lDove

Verse 2

(A tone higher)

  E Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountainA mornings

  LBittle warm puppies and children and girls of the nEight

Them that don't know him won't like him

  And them that do sAometimes won't know how to take him

  He aBin't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him

  Do the things that make you think he's rEight

Chorus

  EMamas don't let your babies grow up to be Acowboys

  Don'tB let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks

  Make them be doctors and lawyers anEd such

  Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cAowboys

  They'lBl never stay home and they're always alone

  Even with someone theEy love
