D Pursuing the life of my high riding heroes E7 A7 I burned up my childhood days. D I learned all the rules of a modern day drifter G D Don't you hold on to nothing too long G D G Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them D A7 D With the words of a sad country song. CHORUS G D My heroes have always been cowboys E7 A7 And they still are it seems G D G Sadly in search of and one step in back of D A7 D Themselves and their slow moving dreams. VERSE 2 D Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery G D From being alone too long. D You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare E7 A7 Knowing well that your best days are gone D Picking up hookers instead of my pen G D I let the words of my youth fade away. G D G Old worn out saddles and old worm out memories D A7 D With no one and no place to stay. CHORUS G D My heroes have always been cowboys E7 A7 And they still are it seems G D G Sadly in search of and one step in back of D A7 D Themselves and their slow moving dreams. OTTRO G D G Sadly in search of and one step in back of D A7 D Themselves and their slow moving dreams. This song is in 3/4 time. It sounds best if you hit the bass note of the chord on the first beat of each measure. You might want to put in some bass runs like A-B-C#-D between A and D chords where it sounds right. If you want to talk country guitar with me, or if my notation makes no sense feel free to e-mail me. -- Greg Vaughn Graduate Student Pulsed Power Group Insulator Lab Department of Physics Texas Tech University ribtm@ttacs.ttu.edu
