I^?d Rather Be Cowboy
(Ladies Chains) John Denver (klr)
[[D]] - [[G]] - [[D]] x2
[[D]] Jesse went away last summer, a [[G]] couple of months [[D]] ago
After all our time together, it was [[G]] hard to see her [[D]] go
She called me right up when she arrived, asked me [[G]] one more time
to [[D]] come
Livin^? on an L.. freeway, ain^?t my [[G]] kind of havin^? [[D]] fun
[[G]] I think I^?d rather be a [[D]] cowboy
[[G]] I think I^?d rather ride the [[D]] range
[[G]] I think I^?d rather be a [[D]] cowboy
Than to [[A]] lay me down in [[Asus]] love and lady^?s [[D]] chains
[[D]] - [[G]] - [[D]] x2
[[D]] When we were just beginning, it was [[G]] such and easy [[D]] way
Layin^? back up in the mountains, singin^? [[G]] songs for sunny [[D]]
days
But she got tired of pickin^? daisies and [[G]] cookin^? my meals for [[D]]
me
She can live the life she wants to, yes, and [[G]] it^?s all right with
[[D]] me
[[G]] I think I^?d rather be a [[D]] cowboy
[[G]] I think I^?d rather ride the [[D]] range
[[G]] I think I^?d rather be a [[D]] cowboy
Than to [[A]] lay me down in [[Asus]] love and lady^?s [[D]] chains
[[A]] I^?d rather [[Asus]] live on the [[G]] side of a [[D]] mountain
Than [[A]] wander through [[Asus]] canyons of [[G]] concrete and [[D]] steel
[[A]] I^?d rather [[Asus]] laugh with the [[G]] rain and sun [[D]] shine
And [[C]] lay down my [[G]] sundown in [[E7]] some starry [[A]] field [[Asus]]
[[A]] [[Asus]]
[[D]] Oh, but I miss her in the mornin^?, [[G]] when I awake [[D]] alone
And the absence of her laughter is a [[G]] cold and empty [[D]] sound
But her memory always makes me smile [[G]] and I want you to [[D]] know
I love her, yes I love her [[G]] just enough to let her [[D]] go
[[G]] I think I^?d rather be a [[D]] cowboy
[[G]] I think I^?d rather ride the [[D]] range
[[G]] I think I^?d rather be a [[D]] cowboy
Than to [[A]] lay me down in [[Asus]] love and lady^?s [[D]] chains
[[G]] I think I^?d rather be a [[D]] cowboy
[[G]] I think I^?d rather ride the [[D]] range
[[G]] I think I^?d rather be a [[D]] cowboy
Than to [[A]] lay me down in [[Asus]] love and lady^?s [[D]] chains
I hope you have fun with that one.
