G Bm
There's something about the heart of this man
C C/B C/A G
That pushes him harder than anyone can
G Bm
He may be tired and saddle worn
C C/B C/A G
But a cowboy's work is never done
Chorus:
G C G
He needs to be free like the wind
G C D
He needs to be wild like the man that he is
C D Em
Through the dog days of summer or a hard winter storm
C C/B C/A G
A cowboy's work is never done
To bed with the chickens and up before dawn
He'll say his prayers beneath a mountain of stars
And there's cows to feed and wire to be strung
Cause a cowboy's work is never done
Chorus
Tonight when he lies down he'll fall fast asleep
You see this cowboy's the last of a dying breed
And when he lies down he'll leave his boots on
Cause a cowboy's work is never done
Chorus
Through the dog days of summer
Or a hard winter storm
A cowboy's work is never done
No a cowboy's work is never done
