When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings

[Intro] C  F


  C
Let me tell you buddy, there's a faster gun
  C                        D7     G
Coming over yonder when tomorrow comes
 C                                      F
Let me tell you buddy, and it won't be long
  C                                  G           C
Till you find yourself singing your last cowboy song


       G                     F        C
Yippie-ki-yi-yay, when the round up ends
       G                   F         G
Yippie-ki-yi-yay, and the camp fire dims
       C               C7           F
Yippie-ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings
       C                  G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings

          C
When they wrap my body in the bindling sheet
                                         D7            G7
And they take my six irons and pull the boots from my feet
   C                                    F
Unsaddle my pony, she'll be itchin' to roam
         C                         G                C
I'll be half way to heaven under horse power of my own


       G                     F        C
Yippie-ki-yi-yay, when the round up ends
       G                   F         G
Yippie-ki-yi-yay, and the camp fire dims
       C               C7           F
Yippie-ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings
       C                  G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings


       G               F     C
Yippie-ki-yi-yay, i'm glory bound
        G                    F           G
No more jingle jangle, I'll lay my guns down


       C              C7            F
Yippie-ki-yi-aye, he shouts and he sings
       C                  G         C
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
