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
Lone star belt buckles
and old faded Levi's
G 
An (G major) d each night begins a new day
Asus4 
A 
If you don't  (Asus4) understand  (A major) him,
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 cow (G major) boys
A 
Don't  (A major) let them pick guitars
or 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 nev (A major) er 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 
Little  (B major) warm puppies and children
E 
and girls of the night  (E major) 
Them that don't know
him won't like him
A 
And them that do  (A major) sometimes
won't know how to take it
B 
He ain't  (B major) wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him do things
E 
To make you think he's  (E major) right
Mama, don't let your babies
A 
grow up to be  (A major) cowboys
B 
No  (B major) little pick guitars
and ride them old trucks
Better than the doctors and
E 
lawyers who  (E major) said
Mama, don't let your babies
A 
grow up to be  (A major) cowboys
B 
They'll  (B major) never stay home
when they're always alone,
E 
even with someone they  (E major) love.
Buzz, don't let your babies
A 
grow up to be  (A major) cowboys.
B 
Don't  (B major) let them pick guitars
and ride the motorboat.
Let them be doctors and lawyers...
