My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys Recorded by Waylon Jennings (Circa 1996) Written by Sharon Vaughn Key of D, with no capo to play along with the youtube video. In 3/4 time Note; a GREAT pub/campfire song!

^DI grew up dreaming of being a cowboy ^GLoving the cowboy ^Dways

Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes

I ^E7burned up my childhood ^A7days

I ^Dlearned all the rules of the modern day drifter Don't you ^Ghold onto nothing too ^Dlong Just ^Gtake what you need from the ^Dladies Then ^Gleave them the ^Dwords of a ^A7sad country ^Dsong

My h^Geroes have always been c^Dowboys ^E7And they still are it ^A7seems ^GSadly in search of ^Dbut one step in ^Gback of Them^Dselves and their ^A7slow moving ^Ddreams

Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery

From ^Gbeing alone too ^Dlong You ^Gcould die from the cold in the arms of a ^Dnightmare Knowing ^E7well your best days are ^A7gone

^DPicking up hookers instead of my pen I let ^Gthe words of my years fade ^Daway Old ^Gworn out saddles old ^Dworn out Mem^Gories with ^Dno one and ^A7no place to ^Dstay

My h^Geroes have always been c^Dowboys ^E7And they still are it ^A7seems ^GSadly in search of ^Dbut one step in ^Gback of Them^Dselves and their ^A7slow moving ^Ddreams----
