Verse
D# G# D# D#7
F campfire some coffee from a tin cup in my hand
G# D# D#7
Sure warms the fingers when it's cold
D# G# D# D#7
A-playing an old guitar a friend I understand
F7 A# A#7
Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul
[Verse]
D# G# D# D#7
Sleeping in the moonlight a blanket for the bed
G# D# D#7
Leaves a peaceful feeling in my mind
D# G# D# Cm
Waking up in the morning with an eagle overhead
Cm D# A# A#7 D#
Makes me want to fly away before my time
[Chorus]
D# D#7 G#
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
G# A# A#7 D# A#7
He made wide-open spaces from the start
A#7 D# D#7 G#
He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
G# A# A#7 D# D#7
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
[Verse]
G# D# D#7
Night life and big cities is alright for awhile
G# D# D#7
Sure makes you feel good when you're there
D#7 G# D# Cm
But the country's so pretty it goes on and on for miles
F7 A# A#7
Takes away my troubles and my cares
[Chorus]
A#7 D# D#7 G#
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
G# A# A#7 D# A#7
He made wide-open spaces from the start
A#7 D# D#7 G#
He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
G# A# A#7 D# A#7
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
[Tag]
A# A#7 D#
And trails to lead old cowboys home again
