MAMMAS, DON'T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE COWBOYS CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] D G ■ Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold A D ■ They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold G Lone star belt buckles and old faded Levi's G And each night begins a new day A A7 If you don't understand him and he don't die young D He'll probably just ride away [Chorus] G Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys A ■ Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks D Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such G Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys A 'cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone A7 D Even with someone they love [Verse] E E7 A Cowboys like smokey old poolrooms and clear mountain mornings B E Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night E Them that don't know him won't like him A And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him B He ain't wrong he's just different E But his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right [Chorus] A Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys B Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks B7 E Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such E Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys A B 'cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone B7 Even with someone they love E Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys [Outro] E Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks A N.C. Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
