This Cowboy's Hat chords by
Porter Wagoner
Porter Wagoner

N/A
Verse 1
Am
E

I was sitting in a coffee shop
G
Am

having a cup, passing time,
E

swapping rodeo stories
G
Am

with this old cowboy friend of mine,

when some motorcycle rider
G
Dm

started snickering in the back
Am

and started poking fun at my
E
Am

friend's hat.
E

One old boy said, hey Tex,
Em
G

where'd you park your horse?
Am
E

My friend just pulled his hat down low,
G

but they couldn't be ignored.
Am

One husky dude said,
C
Dm

maybe I'll just rip that hat
Am

right off your head.
E

And that's when my friend turned around and said,
Am

You'll ride a black tornado
C
Dm

across the western skies,
Am

You'll rope an old blue northern
C
E

and milk it till it's dry
Am
C

Bulldog the Mississippi
Dm

and pin its ears down flat
Am
E

Long before you'll take
Am

this cowboy's hat
E

He said, partner,
Em
G
Am

this old hat is better left alone
E
Em

It used to be my daddy's hat,
G
Am

but last year he passed on
G
Dm

My nephew skinned the rattler

that makes up the hat band
Am
E
Am

But in 69 he died in Vietnam

And I got this eagle feather
G
Am

From an Indian friend of mine

Somebody ran him down
Em
G
Am

Close to the Arizona line
C

And a real special lady
Dm
Am

Gave me this hat pin
E

And I don't know if I'll ever
Am

See her again

You'll ride a black tornado
C
Dm

Across the western skies
Am

You'll rope an old blue northern
C
E

and they'll get till it's dry
Am

Bulldog the Mississippi
C
Dm

and pin its ears down flat
Am
E

Long before you'll take
Am

this cowboy's hat
E
Em
G

Now if your leather jacket means to you
Am

what this old hat means to me
E
Am
G

Then we understand each other,
Am

we'll just let it be
C

But if you still think it's funny
Dm

And with my back against the wall
Am
E

Well, you touch my hat,
Am

and you'll have to fight us all
E
G

Well, I caught a little sadness
Am

in that gang leader's eyes
E

Then he turned back to the others,
Em
G
Am

and they walked on outside
C
Dm

And when my friend turned back toward me
E

I noticed that his hat brim
Am
Em

Was turned up like a
Am

big ol' Texas grin

You'll ride a black tornado
C
Dm

across the western skies
Am
C

You'll rope an old blue northern,
E

and milk it till it's dry
Am

Bulldog the Mississippi,
C
Dm

and pin its ears down flat
Am
E

Long before you'll take
Am

this cowboy's hat

Long before you'll take this
E
Am
Dm

cowboy's hat

yeah

  • 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.
