My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
----------------------------------
performed by Willie Nelson
A true classic
D
1. I grew up dreaming of being a cowboy
2. Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery
G D
1. And loving the cowboy ways.
2. From being alone too long.
D
1. Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes
2. You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
E7 A7
1. I burned up my childhood days.
2. Knowing well that your best days are gone
D
1. I learned all the rules of a moder day drifter
2. Picking up hookers instead of my pen
G D
1. DonUt you hold on to nothing too long
2. I let the words of my youth fade away.
G D G
1. Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them
2. Old worn out saddles and old worm out memories
D A7 D
1. With the words of a sad country song.
2. With no one and no place to stay.
CHORUS
G D
My heroes have always been cowboys
E7 A7
And they still are it seems
G D G
Sadly in search of and one step in back of
D A7 D
Themselves and their slow moving dreams.
This song is in 3/4 time. It sounds best if you hit the bass note of the
chord on the first beat of each measure. You might want to put in some bass
runs like A-B-C#-D between A and D chords where it sounds right.
If you want to talk country guitar with me, or if my notation makes no
sense
feel free to e-mail me.
