Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
C Am Em
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, ooh-ooh
C Am Em
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
C Am Em
Riding off in the sunset, blue eyes under my Stetson
C Am Em
A little lady on the front porch wishing my heart would start settling
C Am
Big iron hips with the holsters
Em
I'd be looking mighty fine on a poster
C Am Em
Wanted by the law but the laws don't apply to me
[Chorus]
C Am Em
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
C Am Em G
Rolling around these towns like tumbleweeds
C Am
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Em
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
C Am Em
You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me
G C
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen
Am Em
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
C Am Em
Sitting pretty on the prairie, baby, I'm your Huckleberry, let me hold you (Ooh, ooh)
C Am Em G
This six gun sugars got a hairpin trigger, like I told you (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
C Am
And this dove never really gets lonesome
Em
I never begged, never borrowed but I stole some
C Am Em
Wanted by the law but the laws don't apply to me, baby
[Chorus]
C Am Em
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
C Am Em G
Rolling around these towns like tumbleweeds
C Am
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Em
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
C Am Em
You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me
G C Am Em
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen
[Instrumental]
C Am Em G
[Bridge]
C Am Em G
So mommas if your daughters grow up (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
C Am Em G
To be cowboys, so what? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
C Am Em
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free (Wild and free)
C Am Em
Rolling around these towns like tumbleweeds (Towns like tumbleweeds)
C Am
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Em G
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
C Am Em
You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me (Saddled up with me)
C Am
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen
Em G C Am Em G
Oh, ooh-ooh, I'd be the queen
[Outro]
C Am Em G
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, ooh-ooh
C Am Em G
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, ooh-ooh
Ridin' off in the sunset, blue eyes under my Stetson
A little lady on the front porch wishin' my heart would start settling
Big iron hips with the holsters
I'd be lookin' mighty fine on a poster
Wanted by the law but the laws don't apply to me
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen
Sittin' pretty on the prairie, baby, I'm your huckleberry, let me hold ya
This six-gun sugar's got a hairpin trigger, like I told ya
And this dove never really gets lonesome
I never begged, never borrowed but I stole some
Wanted by the law but the laws don't apply to me, baby
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen
So mamas if your daughters grow up
To be cowboys, so what
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen, oh
I'd be the queen
