Verse 1
(D major) (D major)
(D major) Cowboys ain't easy to love
and they're harder to (G major) hold
(A7) They'd rather give you a song
than diamonds or (D major) gold
(D major) Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's
and (G major) each night begins a new day
If you (A7) don't understand him
and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away (D major)
Chorus 1
(D major) Mamas' don't let your babies
grow up to be (G major) cowboys
Don't (A7) let 'em pick guitars
or drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and (D major) such
(D major) Mamas' don't let your babies
grow up to be (G major) cowboys
'Cause they'll (A7) never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone they (D major) love

Verse 2
(E major) Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms
and clear mountain mornin's (A major)
(B7) Little warm puppies
and children and girls of the night (E major)
(E major) Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do
(A major) sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't (B7) wrong he's just different
But his pride won't let him do things
to make you think he's (E major) right
Chorus 2
(E major) Mamas' don't let your babies
grow up to be (A major) cowboys
Don't (B7) let 'em pick guitars
or drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and (E major) such
(E major) Mamas' don't let your babies
grow up to be (A major) cowboys
'Cause they'll (B7) never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone they (E major) love
Chorus 3
(E major) Mamas' don't let your babies
grow up to be (A major) cowboys
Don't (B7) let 'em pick guitars
or drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and (E major) such
