F 
C 
Dm 
Yippee -aye, yippee -oh, yippee -aye,
G 
C 
yippee -oh, yippee -ay
F 
G 
Which sounds rather silly,
Em 
Am 
but every hillbilly
Dm 
G 
C 
Am 
Spends half his life singing that way
Dm 
G 
C 
D 
He was just a lavender cowboy
G 
C 
With only three hairs on his chest
G 
C 
And he rode on a filly called
D 
Daffy Down Dilly,
G 
C 
The prettiest horse in the West.
D 
Every morning they went out together,
G 
C 
While the others looked on in dismay,
G 
C 
Cause he'd round up the cattle
D 
a -riding side saddle,
G 
C 
Am 
Because he preferred it that way.
Dm 
G 
C 
D 
He was just a lavender cowboy,
G 
C 
Who committed a terrible sin.
G 
C 
He went out on a bender,
D 
And slugged a bartender,
G 
C 
And stole all the strawberry gin.
D 
So the posse was sent out to find him,
G 
And bring him back dead or alive.
C 
G 
C 
And they knew as they went
D 
they were hot on the scent
G 
C 
By the smell of Chanel No. 5
Am 
Dm 
G 
C 
And they found him
D 
a -lyin' unconscious
G 
C 
With blood runnin' all down his chin
G 
C 
Till they looked a bit closer
D 
And what do you know, sir,
G 
they found it was strawberry gin
C 
D 
So they shot the Lavender Cowboy
G 
C 
And said, as they laid him to rest,
G 
C 
You'll be happier now, boy,
D 
you can't be a cowboy
G 
C 
With only three hairs on your chest.
