[Verse]
C                         
Cowboys ain't easy to love
                      F   
And they're harder to hold
G                            
They'd rather give you a song
                 C   
Then diamonds or gold
C                                         
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's
F                              
And each night begins a new day
       G                   
If you don't understand him
       G              
And he don't die young
                         C   
He'll probably just ride away


[Chorus]
                                          F       Dm7
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys ■  
F G                                                   
■ Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
                                   C   
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
                                       F         
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
       C             G                                 
'cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
                  C        
Even with someone they love

[Verse]
D                                 
Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms
          G                
And clear mountain mornings
A                                            D           
■ Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night


[Chorus]
          D                            
Them that don't know him don't like him
D7            G                                      
And them that do sometimes don't know how to take him
   A                              
He ain't wrong he's just different
              A            
But his pride won't let him
                                       D
Do things to make you think he's right ■
                                       G         
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
A                                                    A7
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks ■ 
                                D       
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
                                       G         
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Em7    A                                               
'cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
                  D        
Even with someone they love
