[Verse 1]
G
Well the boys round here ain't like the boys back home
G
They don't plant the fields, they won't work the farms
C
The boys round here well they talk too fast
G
When the times get hard, no they won't last
[Chorus 1]
C
Cocaine cowboys
They're bad in the saddle
G
But they're coming from New York, LA, and Seattle
D
They're all hat, they don't rope no cattle
G
They don't ride no bulls
C
Cocaine cowboys, they never get sleep
G
With their bloodshot eyes, their cigarette teeth
D
I wish that someone warned me
C G
Stay away from them cocaine cowboys
G
Oooh--oo-oo--ooh
C G
Oooh--oo-oo--ooh
D C G
Oooh--oo-oo--ooh
[Verse 2]
G
Well they're riding the rails right before the show
G
Better call up James when the bag gets low
C
The crowd thins out the longer they play
G
You can't write a song with nothing to say
[Chorus 2]
C
Cocaine cowboys
They're bad in the saddle
G
But they're coming from New York, LA, and Seattle
D
They're all hat, they don't rope no cattle
G
They don't ride no bulls
C
Cocaine cowboys, they never get sleep
G
They're out in the bars and they're grinding their teeth
D
I wish that someone warned me
C G
Stay away from them cocaine cowboys
D
I wish that someone warned me
C G
Stay away from them cocaine cowboys
G
Oooh--oo-oo--ooh
C G
Oooh--oo-oo--ooh
D C G
Oooh--oo-oo--ooh
D C G
Oooh--oo-oo--ooh
