Mammas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys - Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson

[Verse 1]
[D] Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to [G] hold
[A] They'd rather give you a song than dia[D]monds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each [G] night begins a new day
If [A] you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride [D] away

|[Chorus]
|[D] Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be [G] cowboys
|Don't [A] let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
|Make them be doctors and lawyers and [D] such
|Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be [G] cowboys
|They'll [A] never stay home and they're always alone
|Even with someone they [D] love

[Verse 2] [A tone higher]
[E7] Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and clear mountain [A]mornings
[B] Little warm puppies and children and girls of the [E7] night
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do [A] sometimes won't know how to take him
He [B] ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
Do the things that make you think he's [E7] right

|[Chorus]
|[E7] Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be [A] cowboys
|Don't [B] let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
|Make them be doctors and lawyers [E7] and such
|Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be [A] cowboys
|They'll [B] never stay home and they're always alone
|Even with someone they [E7] love
