Physics Date: Wed, 3 Nov 93 19:37:02 GMT Lines: 61 My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys ---------------------------------- performed by Willie Nelson A true classic

1. I ^Dgrew up dreaming of being a cowboy 2. Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery

1. And ^Gloving the cowboy ^Dways. 2. From being alone too long.

1. P^Dursuing the life of my high riding heroes 2. You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare

1. I ^E7 burned up my childhood ^A7days. 2. Knowing well that your best days are gone

1. I ^Dlearned all the rules of a moder day drifter 2. Picking up hookers instead of my pen

1. DonUt you ^Ghold on to nothing too ^Dlong 2. I let the words of my youth fade away.

1. Just ^Gtake what you need from the ^Dladies and ^Gleave them 2. Old worn out saddles and old worm out memories

1. With the ^Dwords of a ^A7sad country ^Dsong. 2. With no one and no place to stay.

CHORUS

My ^Gheroes have always been ^Dcowboys ^E7And they still are it ^A7seems ^GSadly in search of and ^Done step in ^Gback of Them^Dselves and their ^A7slow moving ^Ddreams.

This song is in 3/4 time. It sounds best if you hit the bass note of the chord on the first beat of each measure. You might want to put in some bass runs like A-B-C#-D between A and D chords where it sounds right. If you want to talk country guitar with me, or if my notation makes no sense feel free to e-mail me. -- Greg Vaughn Graduate Student Pulsed Power Group Insulator Lab Department of Physics Texas Tech University ribtm@ttacs.ttu.edu
