A                               Asus 
There were signs all over town, come see the rodeo 
        D                              
When I saw those fairground lights shining, 
    A            E 
I knew I had to go 
A                                 Asus          
There were bulls and wild horses, barrels and clowns 
D                                       A            E       
Rhinestones and glitter sparkling, and cowboys all around 
              F#m          D          E 
But there was one, that I never will forget 
 
Chorus 
        A E       F#m                         
He was wild, as a tumble weed rolling, 
 D                A             E 
Restless like a river running free 
             A   E         F#m   
And when he smiled, I knew my heart would be broken 
D                                                       
He was gonna leave that's the cowboy guarantee 
 
That night we got together, we drove out to the lake 
Beneath the stars and Texas moonlight,  
I gave my heart away 
But you can't tame a river, and I wouldn't want to try 
Cause it was worth all the hurtin to know that for one night 
I was loved, like I'd never been before 
 
Chorus 
Chorus 
          A             E              F#m             D 
'Cause a cowboy is a cowboy, and he's always gonna be 
                         A  E  F#m  D                        
That's the cowboy guarantee 
                         A  E  F#m  D            
That's the cowboy guarantee 
 
A E F#m D   (repeat and fade)
