Intro strum with the Davy Crockett-ish melody on harmonica
A-D-A-D-A-A-D-A-A-E (You have to get A feel for how many counts
each chord gets-you can hear him strumming pretty easily, though, in that part).
ADA
Are there any more real cowboys
DA
left out in these hills?
Will the fire hit the iron
E
one more time?
ADA
And will one more dusty pick-up
ADA
coming rolling down the road
BmDE
With a load of feed before the sun gets high?
BmDE
Well i hope that working cowboy never dies
(willie sings-same chords)
Not the one who's snortin' cocaine
when the honky-tonk's all closed
but the one that prays for more rain
heaven knows
that the good feed brings the money
and the money buys the clothes
not the diamond sequins shining on TV
but the kind the working cowboy really needs
(key change to C)CFC
Are there any more country families
FC
Still working hand in hand
trying hard to stay together
G
and make a stand?
CFC
Well the rows and rows and rows of houses
FC
come creepin' up on the land
DmFG
where the cattle graze and old grey barn still stands
DmFG
Are there any more real cowboys in this land?
DmFG
Are there any more real cowboys in this land?
