All The Cowboys

Em G C C Em G C


[Verse 1]
    G         C
Hey Mama, I’m so glad you called
       G
I just finished a load of wash and
          C
I’ve been feeling a little lost
     G               C
Yeah mama, I’ve been on a couple dates

       G
But my phone still hasn’t rang
              C          D
And I’ve been racking my brain
          Em7
Wondering if I came on a little strong
D                               G
If I’m too short if I’m too tall

G
Mama don’t sugarcoat it
C              D
Tell me what’s wrong again


[Chorus]
Em   D  G               C          G
Why--y--y do all the cowboys ride away
   Em D G         C               D
To fi-i-ind them another heart to break
              Em7             D
It’s in their nature, I can’t change them
           C                 G
Things get good so they ride off

     Am7               G             C
In a cloud of dust as another sunset fades
         G  Am7                 D          Em  G  C
So, tell me mama why all the cowboys ride away


[Verse 2]
    G             C
Hey mama, did you ever have to wonder
       G                         C
If the one you’re thinking of is thinking of another
D        Am7             G                C
    With one boot in and one boot out the door
    Am7                 G
One day he swears he’ll stay
              C               D
The next he’s saddling up his horse


[Chorus]
    Em  D G               C          G
So, why-y-y do all the cowboys ride away
   Em D G         C               D
To fi-i-ind them another heart to break
              Em7             D
It’s in their nature, I can’t change them
           C                 G
Things get good so they ride off

     Am7               G             C
In a cloud of dust as another sunset fades
         G  Am7                 D          C
So, tell me mama why all the cowboys ride away


[Solo]
| G | G | C | C | D | D


[Bridge]
           C
Some of us need their space to roam
        Em7
Than to have and not to hold
           C             G      D
And I keep on letting go hoping one day I’ll know


[Chorus]
Em  D G               C          G
Why-y-y do all the cowboys ride away
   Em D G             C               D
To fi-i-ind them yet another heart to break
        Em7            D
And I’m left in pieces wondering
C                 G
How much more my heart can take

     Am7               G             C
In a cloud of dust as another sunset fades
         G  Am7                 D          Em7
So, tell me mama why all the cowboys ride away
     D  C                   D          Em  G  C  D  Em7 G  C
Tell me mama why all the cowboys ride away
