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