Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys - Willie Nelson
Chorus:
D                                        G
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
      A
don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks
                                    D
make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such - - -
D                                        G
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
        A
they'll never stay home and they're always alone
A7                     D
even with someone they love   -    -     -
-----------------------------------------------------

D                                                    G
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold   - - -
    A                                  A7          D
and they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold - - -
D                                              G     
Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis and each night
        
begins a new day---
       A
and if you don't understand him and he don't die young
      A7                  D
he'll probably just ride away - - -

[Repeat chorus]

[modulate]---------------------------------------------

E                                                      A
A cowboy loves smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
B                                                 E
little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
E                                                        A
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do sometimes
             A
won't know how to take him
         B
he's not wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him
            B7                   E
do things to make you think he's right


Chorus:
E                                        A
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
      B
don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks
                                    E
make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
E                                        A
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
        B
they'll never stay home and they're always alone
                       E
even with someone they love

Repeat chorus and fade 1/2 way
