A5                               A5 
There were signs all over town, come see the rodeo 
        D5                              
When I saw those fairground lights shining, 
    A5            E5 
I knew I had to go 
A5                                 A5          
There were bulls and wild horses, barrels and clowns 
D5                                       A5            E5       
Rhinestones and glitter sparkling, and cowboys all around 
              F#5          D5          E5 
But there was one, that I never will forget 
 
Chorus 
        A5 E5       F#5                         
He was wild, as a tumble weed rolling, 
 D5                A5             E5 
Restless like a river running free 
             A5   E5         F#5   
And when he smiled, I knew my heart would be broken 
D5                                                       
He was gonna leave that's the cowboy guarantee 
 
That night we got together, we drove out to the lake 

Beneath the stars and Texas moonlight,  

I gave my heart away 

But you can't tame a river, and I wouldn't want to try 

Cause it was worth all the hurtin to know that for one night 

I was loved, like I'd never been before 
 
Chorus 

Chorus 
          A5             E5              F#5             D5 
'Cause a cowboy is a cowboy, and he's always gonna be 
                         A5  E5  F#5  D5                        
That's the cowboy guarantee 
                         A5  E5  F#5  D5            
That's the cowboy guarantee 
 

A5 E5 F#5 D5   (repeat and fade)
