Doggone Cowboy

 3   4  4   3   4 5    6
I'm kin to the rovin' wind,
  6    -6    6   -6 6    5
that brings the norther in
-4 -4  4   -4 4   -4     5   4   -4   5
Along that dusty trail I'll take my stand
 3     4    3   4   5   6
The steers are big and bold,
 6   6    -6    6  -6 6   5
and the nights are often cold
-4   -4   4  -4  5  -4   4 3 3
But I'll get by so long as I can
<em>  4    5    3
Throw that rope,
 3    4     5   3
and brand that calf, 
 -4   -4 4  -4  -4 5  -4 4 3
dream of a girl in a photograph
3  4  5   3
I got no home, 
3  4  5   3
I got no wife, 
 4   -4  -4 4  -4 5    -4 4  -3  -2 -3  4
But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life</em>

I'm up at the crack of dawn, 
 6  6  -6    6  -6 6  5 
and I throw the bacon on
 -4    -4 -4  4  -4   5  4 -4    5
Seems somehow my work is never through
 3   4  4    4  5    6 
When I get done at night, 
 6   6   -6    6  -6   6    5 
all the stars are big and bright
-4   -4    4    -4 4   -4    5     -4  4   3    3 
But then that's sorta what you're used to when you
<em>  4    5    3
Throw that rope,
 3    4     5   3
and brand that calf, 
 -4   -4 4  -4  -4 5  -4 4 3
dream of a girl in a photograph
3  4  5   3
I got no home, 
3  4  5   3
I got no wife, 
 4   -4  -4 4  -4 5    -4 4  -3  -2 -3  4
But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life

The hot dry wind may blow,
 6    6    -6  6  -6  6  -6    6   5
and you'll see me in the rain and snow
 -4   -4  -4 -4    4 -4   4   4  -4   5
With just an old campfire to keep me warm
 3     4   3    4   5 6 
I'll move the herd along,
 6    6   -6   -6   -6   6  5
and I'll greet them with a song
-4 -4 -4     5 -4  4   3   3 
So I guess that I was born to
<em>  4    5    3
Throw that rope,
 3    4     5   3
and brand that calf, 
 -4   -4 4  -4  -4 5  -4 4 3
dream of a girl in a photograph
3  4  5   3
I got no home, 
3  4  5   3
I got no wife, 
 4   -4  -4 4  -4 5    -4 4  -3  -2 -3  4
But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life
