Waylon Jennings - Mamas dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys

C^Dowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold^G They'd ^Arather give you a song than diamonds or ^Dgold Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each night be^Ggins a new day If you don^A't understand him and he don't die young He'll probably just ride away ^D

Mamas d^Don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys^G Don't let them^A pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make them be doctors and lawyers and such ^D Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys ^G They'll never st^Aay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love ^D

Cow^Eboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountain mornin^Ags Little w^Barm puppies and children and girls of the night ^E

And them that do sometime^As won't know how to take him He ain't wr^Bong, he's just different but his pride won't let him Do the things that make you think he's right ^E

Mamas d^Eon't let your babies grow up to be cowboys^A Don't let th^Bem pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make them be doctors and lawyers and such ^E Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys ^A They'll never^B stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love ^E
