Hang on Cowboy
D Bm F#m A
Brent told mom it’s how you ride not how you look
So don’t shine my boots
D Bm F#m A
She told Brent it’s how you look when you win
D
So let me shine them again
G D Bm A
And as he headed for the rodeo she just smiled and said
G Bm
Just hold on tight son and don’t let go
F#m A
Are the only two things you need to know…
(chorus)
D Bm F#m
Just hang on cowboy hang on for me
A D
I’m your biggest fan it ain’t that hard to see
Bm F#m
Hang on cowboy to all your dreams
A D
Give ‘em hell but just come back home to me
D Bm F#m
Brent went on to ride at the show
A
He wouldn’t stop till he was at the top
D Bm F#m
Dad stayed calm by the telephone
A D
Didn’t sleep at all till he got the call
G D
Brent said I’m eight seconds away from fame
Bm A
Dad do you think I can?
G Bm
And he just sighed and then replied
F#m A
I’ve never had more faith in a man
(repeat chorus)
A
And he gave his life for what he loved
G A
But his memory won’t ever die
Bm G A
And we all know the Lord and he look from above
G
And we can see him hangin’ on
A D
To that big blue Texas sky
(solo)
(repeat chorus)
