Intro G 

D 
Daddy knew that he was tuff 
D 
When old doc Windsor slapped his butt 
G 
The night he was born 
D 
He just smiled 

D 
Bed sheets for a parachute 
D 
He jumped off that old barn roof 
G 
When old doc set his arm 
G                                      Bm 
He said I guess I was wrong thinking I could fly 

G                                                                           
He?s been busted, bruised, and broken, 
G                                      D              A 
brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight 
   G                                       D  
I know it must hurt like hell when a cowboy cries 

D 
Got rolled in a holdin pen 
D 
By a rank bull out in old Cheyenne 
G 
They say he broke five ribs 
D 
Nearly lost his left eye 

D 
One night he straightened out a curve 
D 
With a pick up truck outside Fort Worth 
G 
When they finally cut him out 
G 
Put a Marlboro in his mouth 
Bm 
And bummed a light 

G                                                                           
He?s been busted, bruised, and broken, 
G                                      D              A 
brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight 
   G                                       Bm  
I know it must hurt like hell when a cowboy cries 

G 
And as a teardrop hit his whiskey glass 
G 
He said the only true love I?ll ever have 
E 
Just walked out the door 
G                                 A 
She said she didn?t love me anymore. 

Solo 
G A 

G 
Yeah, He's been busted, bruised, and broken, 
G                                          D 
brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight 
A 
Not tonight 
G 
It must hurt like hell 
G 
It must hurt like hell 
D 
When a cowboy cries
