[Intro]
D  G  A  D
[Verse]
a caDmpfire, some coGffee, from a tDin cup in my hand
GSure warms the fingers when it's Dcold
Dpickin' an old guGitar
A frDiend I understand
SEure smoothes the wrinkles in my sAoul
A-slDeepin' in the moGonlight, a blDanket for my bed
LeaGves a peaceful feelin' in my miDnd
WaDkin' up in the moGrnin'
with an eaDgle over- heGad
Makes me loDng to fly aAway before my tDime
[Chorus]
And I think GDod must be a cowboy at hearGt
He maAde wide open spaces from the stDartA  
He made grDass and trees and mountains
And a hoGrse to be a friend
And trAails to lead old cowboys home agDain
[Verse 2]
The nGight life and big cities
Is alDright for awhile
can sGure make you feel good when you're thDere
But the couGntry's so purty
It goes Don and on for miles
taEkes away my troubles and my caAres
[Chorus]
N.C.
And I think
GDod must be a cowboy at hearGt
He maAde wide open spaces from the stDartA  
He made grDass and trees and mountains
And a hoGrse to be a friend
And trAails to lead old cowboys home agDain
And trAails to lead old cowboys home agGain.

[Intro]

D G A D

[Verse]

D G D

a campfire, some coffee, from a tin cup in my hand

G D

Sure warms the fingers when it's cold

D G

pickin' an old guitar

A friend I understand

E A

Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul

D G D

A-sleepin' in the moonlight, a blanket for my bed

G D

Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind

D G

Wakin' up in the mornin'

D G

with an eagle over- head

D A D

Makes me long to fly away before my time

[Chorus]

D G

And I think God must be a cowboy at heart

A D A

He made wide open spaces from the start

He made grass and trees and mountains

And a horse to be a friend

A D

And trails to lead old cowboys home again

[Verse 2]

The night life and big cities

Is alright for awhile

G D

can sure make you feel good when you're there

But the country's so purty

It goes on and on for miles

E A

takes away my troubles and my cares

[Chorus]

N.C.

And I think

D G

God must be a cowboy at heart

A D A

He made wide open spaces from the start

He made grass and trees and mountains

And a horse to be a friend

A D

And trails to lead old cowboys home again

A G

And trails to lead old cowboys home again.
