D5                          C5
I throwed and I throwed that old rope
       G5              D5
At that make-believe steer
    D5            C5
I?d never been so frustrated
     G5        D5
In all my nine years
     A5                         G5         
I was about to give up on that old bail of hay
 A5                                     G5            
When from the front porch I heard my Dad say


[Chorus:]
           D5             G5  
My little cow-----------boy
               D5            G5
You make me so pr------oud, boy
              B5
Don?t give up now
                       A5
?Cause I know that somehow
               G5
You?ll figure it out
               D5
My little cowboy


D5                          C5
I played and I played this old bar
            G5             D5
Trying to make the big time
  D5                      C5
I stayed broke which was cool
                  G5             D5               
Until along came a kid and a wife
       A5                               G5              
That?s when I called up my Dad, I said today is the day
             A5                     G(let ring)         
It?s time to put this old guitar away... and he said


[Chorus:]
            D5            G5
My little cow-----------boy
               D5            G5
You make me so pr------oud, boy
              B5
Don?t give up now
                       A5
?Cause I know that somehow
               G5
You?ll figure it out
               D5
My little cowboy, yeah

     D5                 C5
Now I?ve got a boy of my own
           G5         D5
With his own set of dreams
   D5                         C5          
He works hard to play quarterback
        G5              D5
For his pee-wee league team
       A5                       G5
A blue star on his helmet, our last name on his back
 A5                        G(let ring)
Three downs in a row, all end with a sack... and I hollered out

[Chorus:]
That's My little cow-----------boy
               D5            G5
You make me so pr------oud, boy
              B5
Don?t give up now
                       A5
?Cause I know that somehow
               G5
You?ll figure it out
               D5
My little cowboy
