Jesse went away last summer, a couple of months ago
G D
After all our time together, it was hard to see her go
G D
She called me right up when she arrived, asked me one more time to come
G D
Livin` on an L.A. freeway, ain`t my kind of havin`? fun
G D
R: I think I`d rather be a cowboy
G D
I think I`d rather ride the range

I think I`d rather be a cowboy

Than to lay me down in love and lady`s chains
D G D D G D
When we were just beginning, it was such and easy way
Layin` back up in the mountains, singin` songs for sunny days
But she got tired of pickin` daisies and cookin` my meals for me
She can live the life she wants to, yes, and it`s all right with me
R: I think I`d rather be a cowboy...
A Asus G D
I`d rather live on the side of a mountain
A Asus G D
Than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
A Asus G D
I`d rather laugh with the rain and sun shine
C G E7 A Asus
And lay down my sundown in some starry field
D G D
Oh, but I miss her in the mornin`, when I awake alone
G D
And the absence of her laughter is a cold and empty sound
G D
But her memory always makes me smile and I want you to know
G D
I love her, yes I love her just enough to let her go
R: I think I`d rather be a cowboy... (2x)
