Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys chords by 
Johnny Paycheck 
N/A•3 views•
Key: D major•BPM: 188
Verse 1
D
Now boys ain't easy to love
G
and they're harder to hold
A
They'd rather give you a song
D
than diamonds and gold
Lone star belt buckles, no faded Levi's
G
Each night begins a new day
A
If you don't understand him
and he don't die young
D
He'll probably just ride on away
So mama, don't let your baby
G
grow up to be a cowboy
A
Don't let him pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Let him be doctors and
D
lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies
G
grow up to be cowboys
A
They'll never stay home
and they'll always be alone
D
Even with someone they love
E
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms
A
and clear mountain mornings
B
Little warm puppies and children
E
and girls of the night
Them that don't know
him won't like him
A
Them that do sometimes won't
know how to take him
B
He ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him
E
Do things to make you think he's right
So mamas don't let your babies
A
grow up to be cowboys
B
Don't let them pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Let them be doctors and
E
lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies
A
grow up to be cowboys
B
They'll never stay home,
they'll always be alone
E
Even with someone they love

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
