***Verse 1***

D                              G                             Em
Well I wake up in the mornin', I brew my coffee hot and strong.
A                            D                  A
I get out my ole guitar, and try to write a song.
D                               G                   Em
An them larks are singin, oh lord, just right outside.
A                                                 D        A
And I'm stuck here in this kitchen tryin' to write.

***Chorus***

D                                    G          Em
 And I'm writin' these cowboy songs. Yodellehe, Cowboy songs...
A                               D        A
Just me and my beat up ole guitar.
D             G          Em
Cowboy songs, Yodellehe, Cowboy songs...
A                                                          D  A
Well maybe one of these cowboy songs is gonna make me a star.

***Verse 2***

D                                   G                    Em
Now Hank Williams Jr. writes 'em rough, and sings 'em tough.
A                                              D        A
And Charlie Daniels sings a song about the devil.
D                                 G                Em
And Waylon and Willie sing about...whatever they like.
A                                                                  D        A
And I'll probably be sing these cowboy songs for the rest of my life.

***Chorus***

Repeat the verse chord progression for the solos

***Verse 3***

D                                              G                      Em
Well this don't sound like Strawberry Roan, or that lonesome cattle call.
A                                                                        D A 
And you might think that it don't sound nothin' like a cowboy song at all.
D                              G                          Em
But it is, 'cause I wrote it...And I'm a real life buckaroo.
A                                                            D A
And I wrote this silly little cowboy song, especially for you.
             D             G          Em     
Here it is...Cowboy songs, Yodellehe, Cowboy songs.
A                                D A
Just me and my beat up ole guitar.
       D            G          Em
Just a Cowboy song, Yodellehe, Cowboys songs.
A                                                          D A
Well maybe one of these cowboy songs is gonna make me a star.
