[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][D][G][C][G]
[D]She was

[Verse 1]
[G]holding her breath
and he at[C]tempted a prayer
And he was [Em]cussing the dust
rising [D]up in the air
'cause the [G]old cattle trail, well,
it wer[C]en't anywhere
[Em]For a baby[C] to draw its first breat[D]h
And the [G]unbroken West,

[Verse 2]
[G]
well, it was [C]no place to live
'cause it was [Em]hard to survive
and it was [D]Hell if you did
So he [G]entered this world with
[C]a pair of clenched [Em]fists
And the [C]first and last tears [D]he'd shed

[Verse 3]
And the [Em]longhorns [D]lowed him a wel[G]come
As a [Em]new voice cried f[D]rom the buckboard
[C]And the Irish,
they sang sad and [Em]lonely
'cause [C]they knew a cow
[D]boy was [C]born

[Verse 4]
Well, the [G]Berry closed in and
a [C]century passed
The set[Em]tlers plowed under
the [D]tall prairie grass
And the [G]cow town's died off in
[C]a world changing [Em]fast
But the [C]wind kept the spirit [D]alive
'cause a [G]young boy in Kansas,

[Verse 5]
[G]
he caught a [C]breeze one day
And [Em]in a five-second rush, rush,
he was [D]fighting for eight
He saw it [G]all so clear through
[C]the dirt on [Em]his face
He [C]knew he was born to [D]ride

[Verse 6]
And the [Em]long lost [D]heir to [G]the saddle
finally [Em]found his [D]way back [C]home
As he picked up his hat, well,
the crowd [Em]cheered
'cause [C]they knew a cow[D]boy was [C]born
Yeah, [Em]that day [D]a cowboy

[Interlude 1]
was born
[G][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 7]
From the [D]heroes in the bright lights of Vegas
[G]Through the poe[Em]ts of the[D] sage and[C] thorn
A proud legacy [D]of a na[Em]tion, [C]thank God,
the cow[D]boy was [C]born
Yeah, [Em]thank God,
[D]the cowboy was born
