Cant Be A Cowboy Forever

    Em                       D
Now he don't expect her to stay true
 to him
    Em                       D
and she never says that she will
     Em                     D
but he's got a first love that just 
might kill him
     Em                         
and she knows he's hooked on the 
    D
thrill
      G                          D
So she'll wait and worry then she'll
 wait some more
          G                     
for the fever that drives him to 
   D
just run its course
      Bm                         D
she talks to that picture they 
                       G
took their last night together

[Chorus]
           D          A        G 
Says you can't be a cowboy 
            D          A       Em
forever, no you can't be a cowboy 
forever.

[Verse 2]
    Em                       D 
Sometimes he calls her he swears 
                           Em      
that the ground hurts, more than it
           D
 did yesterday.
     Em                        
But she knows his voice, and he 
   D                         
still sounds determined, to do 
Em               D
whatever it takes.
     G                           D
So she'll wait and worry then 
                             G     
she'll wait some more, for the 
                  D
fever that drives him to just run 
its course
       Bm                      
the whiskey he drinks said some 
    D                       G
things last spring that upset her.

[Chorus]
         D           A       G   
But he can't be a cowboy forever,
          D           A      Em
 no you can't be a cowboy forever.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
      Em                           
Then one night he shows up, and he 
  D
says what's for dinner
      Em                      D
with that cocky grin on his face.
     Em                          D
the way that she smiled and the way 
that she held him
  Em                     D
told him he wasn't too late.
    Bm                       D    
As she closed her eyes, and he put
                        G
 that ring on her finger.

[Chorus]
           D           A      G
Said you can't be a cowboy forever,
         D           A      G
No you can't be a cowboy forever,
         D           A      Em
No you can't be a cowboy forever.
