Doggone Cowboy

F                               Dm
I'm kin to the rovin' wind that brings the norther in
Gm               C                  F     C
Along that dusty trail I'll take my stand
F                                   Dm
The steers are big and bold and the nights are often cold
Gm              C
But I'll get by so long as I can

[Chorus]
F                              Dm   Gm                   C
Throw that rope and brand that calf dream of a girl in a photograph
F                           Gm                    C                F
I got no home I got no wife but I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life

[Verse]
F                                 Dm
I'm up at the crack of dawn and I throw the bacon on
Gm               C             F      C
Seems somehow my work is never through
F                                Dm
When I get done at night all the stars are big and bright
Gm                                C
But then that's sorta what you're used to when you

[Chorus]
F          Dm       F          Dm   Gm                   C
Throw that rope and brand that calf dream of a girl in a photograph
F                      Dm   Gm                    C                F
I got no home I got no wife but I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life

[Verse]
F                                    Dm
The hot dry wind may blow and you'll see me in the rain and snow
Gm                   C               F     C
With just an old campfire to keep me warm
F                                 Dm
I'll move the herd along and I'll greet them with a song
Gm              C
So I guess that I was born

[Chorus]
F                                   Gm                   C
Throw that rope and brand that calf dream of a girl in a photograph
F                      Dm   Gm                    C                F
I got no home I got no wife but I'll be a doggone cowboy all of my life
