My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys ---------------------------------- performed by Willie Nelson ** Credit goes to the first person to post a chord sheet for this. My only modification was to put it in a format for auto-scroll to work since I'm lazy like that ** [Verse]

^DI grew up dreaming of being a cowboy ^GAnd loving the cowboy ^Dways. ^DPursuing the life of my high riding heroes ^E7I burned up my childhood ^A7days. ^DI learned all the rules of a modern day drifter ^GDon't you hold on to nothing too ^Dlong ^GJust take what you need from the ^Dladies and ^Gleave them With the ^Dwords of a ^A7sad country ^Dsong.

[Chorus]

^GMy heroes have always been ^Dcowboys ^E7And they still are it ^A7seems ^GSadly in search of and ^Done step in ^Gback of ^DThemselves and their ^A7slow moving ^Ddreams.

[Verse]

^DCowboys are special with their own brand of misery ^GFrom being alone too ^Dlong. ^DYou could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare ^E7Knowing well that your best days are ^A7gone ^DPicking up hookers instead of my pen I let the ^Gwords of my youth fade ^Daway. ^GOld worn out saddles and ^Dold worn out ^Gmemories With ^Dno one and ^A7no place to ^Dstay.

[Chorus]

^GMy heroes have always been ^Dcowboys ^E7And they still are it ^A7seems ^GSadly in search of and ^Done step in ^Gback of ^DThemselves and their ^A7slow moving ^Ddreams.

[Repeat last two lines]

^GSadly in search of ^Dand one step in ^Gback of ^DThemselves and their ^A7slow moving ^G/Bdreams. ^D
