G D
IT WAS TOO COLD TO STAY IN THE NORTH AND LA
A D
SEEMED THE MOST LIKELY PLACE I COULD STAY
G D
THOSE MALIBU NIGHTS AND THOSE HOLLYWOOD LIGHTS
A D
(rest) WERE BLINDING ME
Bm A G D
I LONG FOR A LOVER TO HELP ME DISCOVER THE KEY TO UNLOCK LOVE'S DOOR
G D
WHILE DIVING THE REEF'S LORD SHE CHANGED MY BELIEFS
A D
AS WE MADE LOVE ON THE OCEAN'S FLOOR (and she whispered)
Chorus:

DIVERS DO IT DEEPER JOCKEYS DO IT SHORTER

BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER; STRONGER
D G A D
SAILORS DO IT WETTER, SOLDIERS DO IT BETTER
G A D C G; G C D
BUT COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
G D A D
I MOVED FROM LA FOR A GOOD JOB WITH PAY RIDING RANGE FOR THE DOUBLE BAR J
G D A D
TILL' THE RODEO CAME AND I PUT IN MY NAME FOR THE BULL RIDING CONTEST THAT DAY
Bm A G D
THE JUDGES WERE WATCHING BUT THEY NEVER NOTICED THE GIRL STANDING CLOSE TO MY CHUTE
G D A D
SHE PICKED ME TO WIN I COULD TELL BY HER GRIN AS SHE REACHED OUT AND PATTED MY BOOT
(and she said)
D G A D
DIVERS DO IT DEEPER PILOTS DO IT HIGHER
G A D
BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER; STONGER
D G A D
DOCTORS DO IT CLEANER BIKERS DO IT MEANER
G A D A D
COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
DIVERS DO IT DEEPER JOCKEYS DO IT SHORTER
BRICK LAYERS ALWAYS MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT STRONGER

COWBOYS STAY IN THE SADDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
