Jesse went away last summer couple of month ago
D G D
After all our time together, it was hard to see her go
D G D
She called me right up when she arrived, asked me one more time to come
D G D
Livn on an L.A. freeway, aint my kind of havin fun
G D
I think Id rather be a cowboy
G D
I think Id rather ride the range
G D
I think Id rather be a cowboy
A Asus D
Than to lay me down in love and ladys chains
D G D x2
D G D
When we were just beginning, it was such an easy way
D G D
Layin back up in the mountains, singin songs for sunny days
D G D
But she got tired of picking daisies and cookin my meals for me
D G D
She can live the life she wants to, yes, and its all right with me
G D
I think Id rather be cowboy
G D
I think Id rather ride the range
G D
I think Id rather be a cowboy
A Asus D
Than to lay me down in love and ladys chains
A Asus G D
Id rather live on the side of a mountain
A Asus G D
Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
A Asus G D
Id rather laugh with the rain and sunshine
C G E7 A Asus A Asus
An lay down my sundown in some starry field
D G D
Oh, but I miss her in the mornin, when I awake alone
D G D
And the absence of her laughter is a cold and empty sound
D G D
But her memory always makes me smile and I want you to know
D G D
I love her, yes I love her just enough to let her go
G D
I think Id rather be a cowboy
G D
I think Id rather ride the range
G D
I think Id rather be a cowboy
A Asus D
Than to lay me down in love and ladys chains
