Mammas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys - Waylon Jennings | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
D

[Verse 1]
---------------------
D
Cowboys ain't easy to love
                      G
And they're harder to hold
A7
They'd rather give you a song
                 D
Than diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis
    G
And each night begins a new day
       A7
If you don't understand him and he don't die young
                          D
He'll probably just ride away

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D                                          G
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
      A7
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
                                   D
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
                                          G
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
               A7
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
                       D
Even with someone they love

[Verse 2]
---------------------
E
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms
                     A
And clear mountain mornings
B7
Little warm puppies and children
                    E
And girls of the night
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

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
E                                          A
Mamas, don't let your babies 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
                                          A
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
               B7
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
                       E
Even with someone they love

[Outro (Fade Out)]
---------------------
E                                          A
Mamas, don't let your babies 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
