?Hang on Cowboy? 
 
D5              B5           F#5              A5 
Brent told mom it?s how you ride not how you look 
 
So don?t shine my boots 
D5              B5           F#5           A5 
She told Brent it?s how you look when you win 
                           D5 
So let me shine them again 
          G5              D5     B5                  A5 
And as he headed for the rodeo she just smiled and said 
     G5                     B5 
Just hold on tight son and don?t let go 
        F#5                         A5 
Are the only two things you need to know? 
 
(chorus) 
D5                   B5          F#5 
Just hang on cowboy hang on for me 
         A5                                 D5 
I?m your biggest fan it ain?t that hard to see 
               B5          F#5 
Hang on cowboy to all your dreams 
         A5                               D5 
Give ?em hell but just come back home to me 
 

D5             B5             F#5 
Brent went on to ride at the show 
            A5 
He wouldn?t stop till he was at the top 
D5               B5         F#5 
Dad stayed calm by the telephone 
                A5                         D5 
Didn?t sleep at all till he got the call 
               G5             D5 
Brent said I?m eight seconds away from fame 
B5                 A5 
Dad do you think I can? 
    G5                  B5 
And he just sighed and then replied 
     F#5                       A5 
I?ve never had more faith in a man 
 
(repeat chorus) 
       A5 
And he gave his life for what he loved 
        G5                 A5 
But his memory won?t ever die 
           B5                G5            A5 
And we all know the Lord and he look from above 
           G5 
And we can see him hangin? on 
                       A5   D5 
To that big blue Texas sky 
 
(solo) 
 
(repeat chorus)
