Don't Come the Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim! 
 
 
Intro:         D G A D   
 
VERSE: 
 
D                            G 
Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts 
                             D   
Can make you feel nothing at all 
             A             G  
They'll never remember and they'll never mind 
              C                      G  
If you're counting the cracks in the wall 
             D                         G  
They're quick and they're greedy, they never feel guilty          
                               D  
They don't know the meaning of hurt 
       A                      G  
The boots just go back on the socks that had stayed on 
       C                        G     
The next time they see you they treat you like dirt 
       A                           D  
The next time they treat you like dirt 

       D                      G  
So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim 
                                D  
I know lots of those and you're not one of them 
                A                   F  
There's a light in your eyes sayin' somebody's in 
                A                  D 
And you won't come the cowboy with me
 
 
G    D  
 
 
 
VERSE: 
 
D                        G  
Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart 
                             D  
It's all I've got left to me now 
   A                     G  
I fell out of favor with heaven somewhere 
        C                       G  
And I'm here for the hell of it now. 
D                           G 
Some girls play cowboys and some boys play harder to get 
                         D  
But they're got just the same 
     A                                G  
They smile and say cheese, they're so eager to please 
            C                   G  
But they'll never remember your name 
       A                     D  
The names and the places all change 
 
CHORUS: 
 
       D                         G  
So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim 
                                D  
I know lots of those and you're not one of them 
          A                         F  
There's a light in your eyes sayin' somebody's in 
        A                                              
And you won't come the cowboy with me 
 
BREAK: 
 
D G D A F A D  
  
VERSE: 
 
    D                     G  
Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell? 
                       D  
I didn't expect you to know me so well 
   A                          G  
If I've learned a lesson it's how to bounce back again 
 
C                          G  
Sometimes I bounce off the wall 
        A                      D  
And sometimes my head hits the floor 
 
    CHORUS: 
 
   D                          G  
So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim 
                                D  
I know lots of those and you're not one of them 
          A                         F  
There's a light in your eyes sayin' somebody's in 
        A                                         
And you won't come the cowboy  
 
    D                          G  
Oh, Don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim 
                                D  
I know lots of those and you're not one of them 
          A                         F  
There's a light in your eyes sayin' somebody's in 
                                   D 
And you won't come the cowboy with me 
 
D G A D
