[Verse 1]
             C              G
If there’s a job that needs done
     D           Em
Or a horse to be broke
             C                G
If there’s a drink that needs drunk
     Em             D/F#
Or a red that needs smoked
       C      G  D   C  G  D
Call a cowboy


[Verse 2]
                C           G
If there’s some boots to be scuffed
   D             Em
Or pearls to get snapped
           C                G
You need a four wheel drive truck
       Em           D/F#
With a chain on the back
       C
Call a cowboy


[Chorus]
            C              G              D           Em
You best be banking on him hanging on for more than 8 seconds
     C           G
He’s rock steady loaded locked and ready
Em           D
Boots to his Stetson
     C
He’s red white and blue
G                       D           Em
Tried and true like the grit in his voice
C               G      D  G   C  G  D
That’s what you call a cowboy


[Verse 3]
             C          G
If there’s a door to be held
      Em           D
A wildflower to be picked
             C          G
If there’s a fire to be felt
     Em               D
In a straight whiskey kiss
       C     G  D
Call a cowboy


[Chorus]
            C              G              D           Em
You best be banking on him hanging on for more than 8 seconds
     C           G
He’s rock steady loaded locked and ready
Em           D
Boots to his Stetson
     C
He’s red white and blue
G                       D           Em
Tried and true like the grit in his voice
C               G      D  G
That’s what you call a cowboy

Em


[Bridge]
C               Em
Oh hey lucky me
           C         Em        C
When I’m a long long ways from home
         D           C
I get to call him my own


[Chorus]
            C              G              D           Em
You best be banking on him hanging on for more than 8 seconds
     C           G
He’s rock steady loaded locked and ready
Em           D
Boots to his Stetson
     C
He’s red white and blue
G                       D           Em
Tried and true like the grit in his voice
C               G    D     C
That’s what you call my cowboy
