E5                                      B5 
1.  He ain't been right, since she's been gone 
                           E5 
He's been known to tie one on 
                                   B5 
Glass could break and chairs could fly 
                      E5 
We best keep him occupied 

Refr?o -------------
                E5                        B5 
Let the cowboy dance, let him dance all night 
                                     E5 
Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't fight 
                                   B5 
It's our only hope, it's our only chance 
                                          E5 
Clear the floor boys, and let the cowboy dance

2.  Let him kick up his heels, or he'll kick down the doors 
                                         E5  
Give him lots of room , when he hits the floor 
                               B5 
If he asks to dance with your wife 
                               E5 
Let her go boys, and save your life 
 
Repeat chorus 
 
Instrumental break 
 
(Change to key of 
F5 ) 
 
          F5                 C5 
3.  Music calms the savage beast 
                                 F5 
He's a big old boy, at the very least 
                       C5 
He'll get over her someday 
                           F5 
Until then, stay outta his way 
 
Repeat chorus (in 
F5 )
