Biography:
Canada’s premiere Country Rock band from the 70’s through the mid 80’s, the Cooper Brothers first gained international attention when they signed with Capricorn Records (famous for producing several of the most popular southern-rock acts of the time including The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Delbert McClinton and Elvin Bishop). Over the next few years the Cooper Brothers released two albums under the Capricorn label, the self-titled, The Cooper Brothers and Pitfalls of the Ballroom.

It was the mid-late 70's and a group of gentlemen from Ottawa decided they'd show the
how much better Canadian country rock is. The tune went a little something like this:
ROCK & ROLL COWBOYS
INTRO CHORDS G - F#/D - E
VERSE 1
G C
Saw you coming into town just yesterday
Am Bm C D
It looked like you had a posse or two upon your heels
C
A seedy crew
D
I'm telling you
G Am
Wouldn't want to meet yous on some darkened street no..no..
D
I've heard all about the likes of you
(Yeah you look like...)
CHORUS
C D G
Outlaws waiting for the stage
C D G
Desperadoes from another age
C D G
E->
So lock up your daughters and hide your silver away
C D G
Those rock and roll cowboys are on the road again
VERSE 2
G C
Drifting round the country like you had no home
Am Bm C D
Every night a party or two before you turn in
C
A sorry crew
D
I'm telling you
D Am
Wonder where you'll be in a few years from now
D
Wonder what the ladies see in you
C G
Say ain't I seen your faces before
C G
On some booking agent's wall
C G D
Staring out so spaced from a glossy eight-by-ten
C G
Or maybe on a late night duster
C G
Or on some tv show
C G D
But hey I know somewhere I've seen you crazed old men
(Yeah you look like...)
REPEAT CHORUS X4
Thanks Guys!
