Cowboys they are ladies men alright 
      D7                            G7 
They love 'em up & talk 'em up all night 
             C                                  F 
But they're lonely when there's nothin' else to do 
    G7                                      C 
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues 
 
 
He does a little Shakespere & he sings 
He plays the mandolin & other things 
He looks for love, beauty & I.Q. 
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues 
 
Chorus..... 
 
G                                 F               C 
Cowboys have to fall in love get hurt & all that bit 
G                                      F               C 
Let thier hearts hang out so they can write you all a hit 
                                 F 
So ladies if they ask you don't refuse 
C                    G7               C 
Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues 
 
 
inst verse......... 
 
Cowboys they don't ever understand 
This thing between a woman & a man 
Untill they find the one they always lose 
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues 
 
Chorus....... 
 
A cowboy takes his lonely pen in hand 
And tries to make somebody understand 
But she has ears to hear a different tune 
And that's what makes the cowboys sing the blues
