Verse 1
D 
Back in the  (D major) days when cowboying actually existed,
there was a young chap
who wished to be a cowboy.
He had heard all about the romantic life
of the cowboy, etc.
A 
Although history  (A major) rather well documents
D 
the fact that the  (D major) cowboy, by and large,
was a pretty scurvy lot,
and unhygienic to boot,
and so were the cattle,
this is a heart -rending tale
prepared to be rendered.
There once was a lavender cowboy,
G 
D 
A 
 (G major) the  (D major) hairs on his chest  (A major) were few.
D 
G 
He  (D major) wanted to follow the  (G major) heroes
D 
A 
and to  (D major) do as  (A major) the cowboys do.
D 
 (D major) But he was inwardly troubled
G 
D 
A 
 (G major) by  (D major) dreams that gave him  (A major) no rest.
D 
G 
And  (D major) when he woke up every morn (G major) ing
D 
A 
D 
he had only  (D major)  (A major) two hairs on his  (D major) chest.
G 
Herpicide and many hair ton (G major) ics
D 
A 
he  (D major) spread on morning  (A major) and night.
D 
But each  (D major) time that he looked
G 
into the mir (G major) ror,
D 
A 
D 
only two  (D major) hair (A major) s grew in  (D major) sight.
He battled for a woman's honor,
G 
D 
A 
 (G major) and he  (D major) broke up a hold -up nest.  (A major) 
D 
A 
And he died  (D major) with his six guns a  (A major) -smokin',
D 
A 
D 
but  (D major) only two  (A major) hairs in his chest.  (D major) 
Thank you.
