Verse
G# C# G# G#7
A# campfire some coffee from a tin cup in my hand
C# G# G#7
Sure warms the fingers when it's cold
G# C# G# G#7
A-playing an old guitar a friend I understand
A#7 D# D#7
Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul
[Verse]
G# C# G# G#7
Sleeping in the moonlight a blanket for the bed
C# G# G#7
Leaves a peaceful feeling in my mind
G# C# G# Fm
Waking up in the morning with an eagle overhead
Fm G# D# D#7 G#
Makes me want to fly away before my time
[Chorus]
G# G#7 C#
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
C# D# D#7 G# D#7
He made wide-open spaces from the start
D#7 G# G#7 C#
He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
C# D# D#7 G# G#7
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
[Verse]
C# G# G#7
Night life and big cities is alright for awhile
C# G# G#7
Sure makes you feel good when you're there
G#7 C# G# Fm
But the country's so pretty it goes on and on for miles
A#7 D# D#7
Takes away my troubles and my cares
[Chorus]
D#7 G# G#7 C#
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
C# D# D#7 G# D#7
He made wide-open spaces from the start
D#7 G# G#7 C#
He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
C# D# D#7 G# D#7
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
[Tag]
D# D#7 G#
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
