Waylon Jennings
Waylon Jennings
Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson

1978Country
4.6 (8)
Verse 1
C
C

C

Cowboys ain't easy to love
F

and they're harder to hold
G

They'd rather give you a song
C

than diamonds or gold

Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis
F

And each night begins a new day
G

If you don't understand him,

and he don't die young
C

He'll probably just ride away
Chorus 1
C

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
F

to be cowboys
G

Don't let 'em pick guitars

or drive them old trucks
C

Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
F

to be cowboys
G

'Cause they'll never stay home

and they're always alone
C

Even with someone they love
Verse 2
D

Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms
G

and clear mountain mornings
A

Little warm puppies and children
D

and girls of the night

Them that don't know him

won't like him and them that do
G

Sometimes won't know how to take him
A

He ain't wrong, he's just different

but his pride won't let him
D

Do things to make you think he's right
Chorus 2
D

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
G

to be cowboys
A

Don't let 'em pick guitars

or drive them old trucks
D

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
G

to be cowboys
A

'Cause they'll never stay home

and they're always alone
D

Even with someone they love
[Repead and fade]

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • 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!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • 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

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
