G
A
D
He's hung his old saddle
A
D
Made her a promise
G
A
that he's a cowboy and he's done
A
G
A
Now I'm ready to spend my last years
G
D
that ain't been plowed for years
G
D
We'll plant wheat and white oaks,
G
A
Then I'll buy us some baldies
D
G
A
And I'll break out some bad ones
Clouds get so dark,
G
A
and cold while she waits
G
A
As she dreams of a cowboy
Well, he made it just fine
G
A
till the harvest was done
D
G
A
His feet started itchin', he wanted to run
G
A
Calgary's town deep
A
D
just put wings on his feet
G
A
And she cried when he showed her
G
D
the money he'd won
G
D
She knew by the first light of day
G
A
But he promised he'd quit
G
D
when the season was through
G
A
Be home to plant wheat
G
D
As the winters get long up Alberta way
Clouds get so dark at times
G
A
and cold as she waits
G
A
As she dreams of a cowboy
D
E
named Dawson McGee
Well, summer went fast,
A
B
he was ridin' the mall
E
A
B
Place tied Cheyenne in a first Sioux fall
A
B
his intentions were good
A
B
But then life for a cowboy
A
B
Cause he drawed him a bad one
A
E
at Frisco that fall
A
E
A mean one to ride was a
A
B
And the first jump he stumbled,
A
E
fell, then he rolled
A
B
As his neck snapped like straw,
And now the bad weeds
A
B
And the Bawleys are starving
in the hills where they graze
F#m
A
While she's rockin' the first
son of Dawson
