C                                              F 
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 
              G7      G 
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks 
                    G7            C 
Let'em be doctors and lawyers and such 
                                                                                       
                                             F   C7M   F7M 
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 
            G7              G 
'Cause they never stay home and they're always alone 
                       C 
Even with someone they love 
                                                              
Cm            C/G     C                                F 
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold 
                                                              
G             G/D        G                        C  C7M   
They'd rather give you a song than silver or gold 
Road-Star belt buckles and old faded levis 
         F 
And each night begins a new day 
       G7           D               G7M 
If you canīt understand him, and he don't die young 
                         C    G6 
He'll probably just ride away 

C7M                                             F 
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 
           G7          G 
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks 
          G7                      C 
Let'em be doctors and lawyers and such 
                                                                                       
                                             F 
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 
           G7              G/D 
Cause they never stay home and they're always alone 
G                      C 
Even with someone they love 
                                                                                                                 
                                                         F 
Cowboys love smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings 
                                                                            
G7          G/D                      G7M               C 
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night 
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that 
F 
Sometimes won't know how to take him 
E        G7               D7M           G 
He isn't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him 
                                                                    
                                 C      Am7        
Do things to make you think he's right 

C7M                                           F                                    
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 
           G7      G/D 
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks 
                      G7             C 
Let'em be doctors and lawyers and such 
                                                                              
C7M                                             F 
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 
            G7              G/D 
'Cause they never stay home and they're always alone 
G                      C 
Even with someone they love
