Verse 1
D 
 (D major) Cowboys ain't easy to love,
G 
and they're harder to  (G major) hold
A 
They'd  (A major) rather give you a song
D 
than diamonds or  (D major) gold
Rolled star belt buckles
and old faded Levi's
G 
And  (G major) each night begins a new day
A 
If you  (A major) don't understand him
and he don't die young
D 
He'll probably just ride away  (D major) 
Mamas, don't let your babies
G 
grow up to be  (G major) cowboys
A 
Don't  (A major) let them pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Let them be doctors and
D 
lawyers and  (D major) such
Mamas, don't let your babies
G 
grow up to be cow (G major) boys
A 
They'll  (A major) never stay home
and they're always alone
D 
Even with someone they  (D major) love
E 
Cow (E major) boys like smoky old pool rooms
A 
and clear mountain morn (A major) ings
B 
Yeah,  (B major) little warm puppies
E 
and children and girls of  (E major) the night
Yeah, them that don't know
him won't like him
A 
And them that do some (A major) times
won't know how to take him
B 
He ain't  (B major) wrong, he's just different,
but his pride won't let him
Do things to make you
E 
think he's  (E major) right
Mamas, don't let your babies
A 
grow up to be cowboys  (A major) 
B 
Don't  (B major) let them pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Let them be doctors and
E 
lawyers and  (E major) such
Mamas, don't let your babies
A 
grow up to be cowboys  (A major) 
B 
I'll  (B major) never stay home
and they're always alone
E 
Even with someone they  (E major) love
Yeah, mamas don't let your babies
A 
grow up to be cowboys  (A major) 
B 
Don't  (B major) let them pick guitars
and drive them old trucks
Let them be doctors and
E 
lawyers and  (E major) such
Mamas, don't let your babies
A 
grow up to be  (A major) cowboys
