WHEN COWBOYS DIDN' T DANCE - Lonestar
--------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRO: Am
(The riff is made up of three notes: open 5th string A note, open 6th
string
E note and 6th string, 3rd fret G note)
Am F
Seven hundred heads of cattle, an old forgotten trail
G Am
Six cowboys, one old man and another day of hell
Am F
(...) lagging behind from the strain of a broken wheel
G E
The only thing to look forward to is a campfire and a meal
Am (repeat riff)
Am F
Sleeping 'neath an open sky, with just stars above their heads
G Am
I'd settle for a pillow and some sagebrush for a bed
Am F
Waking up tomorrow was merely done by chance
G E
Back when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance
C G Dm
CHORUS: When cowboys didn't dance, didn't wear designer shirts
F
And their hearts were filled with memories
E
Their bodies filled with hurt
C G
They would sit around the campfire
Dm
And exchange a piercing glance
F E
Am
Back when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance.
Am (repeat riff)
Am F
Pour coffee from an old tin cup, more sweat upon the brow
G Am
Another day of chasing that same old lonely cow
Am F
And every new horizon began a brand new day
G E
Thirteen hundred miles to go, slowly made their way
Am F
Across the plains of Texas through the Colorado snow
G E
Final destination, Blackfoot, Idaho
CHORUS
CHORUS
Am F
Seven hundred heads of cattle, an old forgotten trail
G Am
Five cowboys, one old man and another day of hell
