[Verse I] G I grew up dreaming D of being a cowboy Em love 'em cowboys C swinging by my hot ride
G burned up my childhood days D learned all the way Em of modern day drifter C riding the mountain all the way G just take what you need D from the ladies and leave them Em C the words of a sad country song [Chorus] G My heroes have always been cowboys D still are the same Em sadly searching C one step and back up themselves and the slow moving day [Verse II] G cowboys are special D own brand of misery Em of being alone too long C you can die from the cold G in the arms of a nightmare
D haunting because your best days are gone Em let the words of my youth stay awake C riding that saddle G D with all that memories Em C ain't no place to stay [Chorus] G My heroes have always been cowboys D still are the same Em sadly searching C one step and back up themselves and the slow moving day
