Intro strum with the Davy Crockett-ish melody on harmonica
A-D-A-D-A-A-D-A-A-E (You have to get a feel for how many counts each chord gets-you can hear him strumming pretty easily, though, in that part).
A D A
Are there any more real cowboys
D A
left out in these hills?
Will the fire hit the iron
E
one more time?
A D A
And will one more dusty pick-up
A D A
coming rolling down the road
Bm D E
With a load of feed before the sun gets high?
Bm D E
Well i hope that working cowboy never dies
(willie sings-same chords)
Not the one who's snortin' cocaine
when the honky-tonk's all closed
but the one that prays for more rain
heaven knows
that the good feed brings the money
and the money buys the clothes
not the diamond sequins shining on TV
but the kind the working cowboy really needs
(key change to C)
C F C
Are there any more country families
F C
Still working hand in hand
trying hard to stay together
G
and make a stand?
C F C
Well the rows and rows and rows of houses
F C
come creepin' up on the land
Dm F G
where the cattle graze and old grey barn still stands
Dm F G
Are there any more real cowboys in this land?
Dm F G
Are there any more real cowboys in this land?
