D                          C9
I throwed and I throwed that old rope
       G              D
At that make-believe steer
    D            C9
I?d never been so frustrated
     G        D
In all my nine years
     A                         G         
I was about to give up on that old bail of hay
 A                                     G            
When from the front porch I heard my Dad say


[Chorus:]
           D             G  
My little cow-----------boy
               D            G
You make me so pr------oud, boy
              Bm
Don?t give up now
                       A
?Cause I know that somehow
               G
You?ll figure it out
               D
My little cowboy


D                          C9
I played and I played this old bar
            G             D
Trying to make the big time
  D                      C9
I stayed broke which was cool
                  G             D               
Until along came a kid and a wife
       A                               G              
That?s when I called up my Dad, I said today is the day
             A                     G(let ring)         
It?s time to put this old guitar away... and he said


[Chorus:]
            D            G
My little cow-----------boy
               D            G
You make me so pr------oud, boy
              Bm
Don?t give up now
                       A
?Cause I know that somehow
               G
You?ll figure it out
               D
My little cowboy, yeah

     D                 C9
Now I?ve got a boy of my own
           G         D
With his own set of dreams
   D                         C9          
He works hard to play quarterback
        G              D
For his pee-wee league team
       A                       G
A blue star on his helmet, our last name on his back
 A                        G(let ring)
Three downs in a row, all end with a sack... and I hollered out

[Chorus:]
That's My little cow-----------boy
               D            G
You make me so pr------oud, boy
              Bm
Don?t give up now
                       A
?Cause I know that somehow
               G
You?ll figure it out
               D
My little cowboy
