   D 
Cowboys ain't easy to love
                                               G 
And they're harder to hold
     A 
They'd rather give you a song
                                     D 
Than diamonds or gold
   D 
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis
         G 
And each night begins a new day
                 A 
If you don't understand him
And he don't die young
                                                 D 
He'll prob'ly just ride away
   D 
Mamas, don't let your babies
                               G 
Grow up to be cowboys
               A 
Don't let 'em pick guitars
Or drive them old trucks
                                                                         D 
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
   D 
Mamas don't let your babies
                               G 
Grow up to be cowboys
                             A 
'Cos they'll never stay home
And they're always alone
                                                 D 
Even with someone they love
   E 
Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms
                                         A 
And clear mountain mornings
   B7 
Little warm puppies and children
                                     E 
And girls of the night
   E 
Them that don't know him
Won't like him and them that do
   A 
Sometimes won't know how to take him
                       B7 
He ain't wrong, he's just different
But his pride won't let him
                                                                     E 
Do things to make you think he's right
   E 
Mamas, don't let your babies
     E7                     A 
Grow up to be cowboys
               B7 
Don't let 'em pick guitars
Or drive them old trucks
                                                                         E 
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
   E 
Mamas don't let your babies
     E7                     A 
Grow up to be cowboys
                             B7 
'Cos they'll never stay home
And they're always alone
                                                 E 
Even with someone they love
