Cowgirls Don't Cry (From the album "Cowboy Town")
As Performed By: Brooks & Dunn
Tuning: Standard - 440 Concert Pitch
As usual there are two guitars in this song, one electric and one acoustic.
And while I'm fairly certain that the acoustic is playing the Dsus2, the
electric may be doubling him with a straight D chord. If you play this on
one guitar you can try alternating between the Dsus2 and the D with a quick
hammer on. Varies the sound a bit and isn't so monotonous.
[Intro Chords] Dsus2-A-Dsus2-A  
[Verse 1]
Her daddy Dsus2gave her, her first pony. AThen taught her to ride.
She climbed Dsus2high in that saddle. Fell I don't Aknow how many times.
He taught her a F#mlesson that she Elearned. DMaybe a little too Ewell.
[Chrous]
Cowgirls don't Dsus2cry. Ride, baby, Aride.
Lessons in Dsus2life are going to show you in time.
Soon Aenough, your gonna know why.
It's gonna F#mhurt every now and Ethen. 
If you Dfall get back on Eagain.
Cowgirls don't cry.A  
[Verse 2]
She grew Dsus2up,She got married. But it Anever was quite right.
She wanted a Dsus2house, a home and babies. He started Acoming home late at night.
She didn't F#mlet him see it Ebreak her heart. She didn't Dlet him see her Efall apart.
[Chrous]
'Cause Cowgirls don't cDsus2ry. Ride, baby, Aride.
Lessons in Dsus2life are goinna' show you in time.
Soon Aenough your gonna know why.
It's gonna F#mhurt every now and Ethen.
If you Dfall get back on Eagain.
                               A  Dsus2-A-Dsus2-A  
Cowgirls don't cry.
[Verse 3]
Dsus2Phone rang early one morning. Her momma's vAoice, she'd been crying.
Said it's your Dsus2daddy, you need to come home. This is Ait, I think he's dying.
She laid the F#mphone down by his Ehead. The Dlast words that he Esaid.
[Refrain]
Cowgirl don't Dsus2cry. Ride, baby, Aride.
Lessons in Dsus2life show us all in time. Too Asoon God lets you know why.
If you F#mfall get right back Eon. The good Lord Dcalls everybody Ehome.
                               A  Dsus2-A-Dsus2-A  
Cowgirl don't cry.
