^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.A. 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
