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

Verse 2
(E major) Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms
and clear mountain mornings (A major)
(B major) Little warm puppies and children
and girls of the night (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 (B major) 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 (B major) let 'em pick guitars
or drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and (E major) such
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up
to be (A major) cowboys
'Cause they'll (B major) never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone they (E major) love
