Cowgirl Blues - chords and lyrics below courtesy of Ultimate Guitar: C G C F When he comes and finds me I want to chase the wind Dm F Am G And feel as though he’d slip right through oh what a sin C G C F Wearing boots from working hard not because it’s some old show Dm F Am G Sometimes a cowboy hat can mean that you’re no cowboy no C G C F Cowgirls want a man to chase but when it’s over it’s no fun Dm F Am G Cowboys say they’re loving hard but they don’t love C G C F We’ve run into this problem of boys and girls on where they’re from Dm F Am G The country breeds no simple ease and we’re both wrong [Chorus] C G They say the cowboy rambles and he’s singing all the blues C Don’t got time for loving only just to lose C G The cowgirl sings and rambles in a different kind of way C We want that man but then we can’t keep our heads out of the way [Verse 2] C G C F I want him here, then I don’t write me songs take me home Dm F Am G then I fear when he’s too near, so I’ll just go C G C F Do you drive that truck because you need it or your daddy’s fine Dm F Am G Never mind that cowboys fine, he just ain’t mine C G C F We built up walls around us few men could tear them down Dm F Am G and these ole boys with their big toys, don’t scratch the ground C G C F You’re talking tough and that’s good stuff you only like what you see Dm F Am G go play your tunes fake cowboy blues, and I’ll be free [Chorus 2] C G They say the cowboy rambles and he’s singing all the blues C Don’t got time for loving only just to lose C G The cowgirl sings and rambles in a different kind of way C We want that man but then we can’t keep our heads out of the way [Interlude] G C F Dm F Am G [Coda] F C Oh cowboy blues we got em too G A woman’s mind is hard to understand F C Oh cowboy blues we sing them too G C But you know we’ll always go hand and hand
