My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I g[A]rew u[D]p a- dreamin'
of bein' a cow[A]boy[G]
And lovin' the cowboy [D]ways
Pursuin' the life of my high ridin' [E]heroes
I burned up my childhood days
[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]
I learned all the rules of a modern day drifter
[G]Don't you hold on to nothin' too lon[D]g
[G]Just take what you need from the lad[D]ies,
then [G]leave them
With [D]the words of a [A]sad country song
[D]

[Verse 3]
My [G]heroes have always been
cow[D]boys[E]
And they still are, it [A]seems
[G]Sadly, in search of and[D]
one step [G]in back of
Them[D]selves and their [A]slow
movin' [D]dreams

[Verse 4]
[D]
Cowboys are special with
their own [A]brand of [D]misery
[G]From being alone too [D]long
You could die from the cold,
in the arms of a nightmare
Know[E]in' well that your best
days [A]are gone

[Verse 5]
[D]
Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen
I let [G]the words of my youth fade [D]away
[G]Old worn out saddles and
[D]old worn out memor[G]ies
But [D]no one and [A]no place to [D]stay

[Verse 6]
[G]My heroes have always
been cow[D]boys[E]
And they still are, it seem[A]s
[G]Sadly, in search of [D]an d one
step in [G]back of
Them[D]selves and their [A]slow
movin' [D]dreams
[G]Sadly, in search of and [D]one
step in [G]back of
[D]Themselves and their
[A]slow movin' [G]dreams

[Outro 1]
[G][D]
