 4  -5  -5  4  -5 -6   7 
I'm kin to the rovin' wind
  7    -8    7   -8 7   -6
that brings the norther in
 6 6   -5   6 -5   6   -6    -5  6   -6
Along that dusty trail I'll take my stand
 4   -5     4  -5  -6   7
The steers are big and bold,
 7   7    -8    7  -8 7   -6
and the nights are often cold
 6    6  -5  6  -6   6  -5 4 4 
But I'll get by so long as I can
 -5    -6   4
Throw that rope,
 4   -5   -6    4
and brand that calf,
  6   6 -5  6   6 -6   6 -5 4
dream of a girl in a photograph
4 -5  -6  4
I got no home, 
4 -5  -6  4
I got no wife, 
-5   6   6 -5   6 -6   6 -5  -4  4  -4 -5
But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life

 4  -5 -5  4   -5   -6  7
I'm up at the crack of dawn 
 7  7  -8    7  -8 7  -6
and I throw the bacon on
  6     6 6   -5  6   -6 -5 6    -6
Seems somehow my work is never through
 4  -5 -5   -5  -6   7
When I get done at night 
 7   7   -8    7  -8   7   -6
all the stars are big and bright
 6    6   -5     6 -5  6     -6    6   -5   4   4
But then that's sorta what you're used to when you
 -5    -6   4
Throw that rope,
 4   -5   -6    4
and brand that calf,
  6   6 -5  6   6 -6   6 -5 4
dream of a girl in a photograph
4 -5  -6  4
I got no home, 
4 -5  -6  4
I got no wife, 
-5   6   6 -5   6 -6   6 -5  -4  4  -4 -5
But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life

 4  -5  -5   -5  -6   7
The hot dry wind may blow
 7    7    -8  7  -8  7   -8   7  -6
and you'll see me in the rain and snow
 6     6  6   6   -5 6    -5  -5  6  -6
With just an old campfire to keep me warm
  4   -5   4   -5  -6 7
I'll move the herd along 
 7    7   -8    -8   -8  7  -6
and I'll greet them with a song
6  6   6    -6  6 -5   4   4 
So I guess that I was born to
 -5    -6   4
Throw that rope,
 4   -5   -6    4
and brand that calf,
  6   6 -5  6   6 -6   6 -5 4
dream of a girl in a photograph
4 -5  -6  4
I got no home, 
4 -5  -6  4
I got no wife, 
-5   6   6 -5   6 -6   6 -5  -4  4  -4 -5
But I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life
