Verse 1
D 
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Cowboys ain't easy to love
G 
and they're harder to hold
A 
They'd rather give you a song
D 
than diamonds or gold
G 
And 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 away
Mamas, don't let your babies
G 
grow up to be cowboys
Don't
A 
Don't let them pick guitars
or drive them home chucks
Let them meet doctors and
D 
lawyers and such
Mamas, don't let your babies
G 
grow up to be cowboys
A 
Cause they'll never stay home
when they're always alone
D 
Even with someone they love
E 
Cowboys like smoky old pools
A 
and clear mountain moors
B 
Little warm puppies and children
E 
and girls of the night
Them that don't know
him won't like him
A 
And them that do sometimes
won't know how to take him
B 
He ain't wrong, he's just different,
E 
but his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
Mamas, don't let your babies
A 
Am 
A 
grow up to be cowboys
Bm 
B 
Don't let them pick guitars
or 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 
Cause they'll never stay home
when they're always alone
E 
Even with someone they love
Mamas, don't let your babies
A 
grow up to be cowboys
B 
Don't let them pick guitars
or 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 
Cause they'll never stay home
and they're always alone
E 
Even with someone they love
You
