verse 1 
        G                              C 
Come all of you cowboys all over this land 
       D7                             G 
I'll sing you the law of the Ranger's command 
   G                                C 
To hold a six-shooter and never to run 
     D7                                     G 
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns 

verse 2 
G                                      C 
I met a fair maiden whose name I don't know 
  D7                                         G 
I asked her to the round up with me would she go 
G                                       C 
She said she'd go with me to the cold round-up 
   D7                                         G 
And drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter cup 

verse 3 
G                                  C 
We started for the round up in the fall of the year 
D7                                      G 
Expecting to get there, with a herd of fat steer 
G                                      C 
When the rustlers broke on us, in the dead hour of night 
    D7                                   G 
She rose from her warm bed, a battle to fight 

verse 4 
G                                 C 
She rose from her warm bed with a gun in each hand 
     D7                                           G 
Saying, 'Come all you cowboys, and fight for your land' 
G                            C 
Come all of you cowboys, and don't ever run 
   D7                                      G 
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns
