[Intro]
|G D |C D | x4
[Verse]
G D C D G
I'll bet you've never heard ole Marshall Dillon say
D C D G
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
D C D G
Settling down, would you marry me
D C D G
If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please
D C D G
She'd have said yes in a New York minute
D C
They never tied the knot
D G
His heart wasn't in it
D C D
He just stole a kiss as he rode away
G D C Cadd9
He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place
[Chorus]
G D C
I should've been a cowboy
D G D C D
I should've learned to rope and ride
G D C D G D C
Wearing my six-shooter, riding by pony on a cattle drive
D G D C D
Stealing a young girl's heart
G D C
Just like Gene and Roy
D G D
Singing those campfire songs
C D G D C Cadd9
Oh I should've been a cowboy
[Verse]
G D C D
I might of had a side kick with a funny name
G D C D
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James
G D C D
Ending up on the brink of danger
G D C D
Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers
G D C D
Go west young man, haven't you been told
G D C D
California's full of whisky, women and gold
G D C D
Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars
G D C Cadd9
A dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart
[Chorus]
G D C
I should've been a cowboy
D G D C D
I should've learned to rope and ride
G D C D G D C
Wearing my six-shooter, riding by pony on a cattle drive
D G D C D
Stealing a young girl's heart
G D C
Just like Gene and Roy
D G D
Singing those campfire songs
C D G D C D
Oh I should've been a cowboy
