I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart.

I want to (A7)learn to rope and to ride.

I want to (D7)ride o'er the plains and the desert,

out west of the Great

(G)Divide. I want to hear the coyotes howlin' while the sun sets in the (C)west.

I want to be a (C#dim7)cowboy's (G)(E7)sweetheart,

that's the (A7)life I (D7)love the (G)best.

I wanna ride old

Paint, goin' at a run.

I wanna (A7)feel the wind in my face,

a (D7)thousand miles from the city lights,

goin' a cowhand's (G)pace.

I wanna pillow my head near the sleepin' herd,

while the moon shines down from (C)above.

I wanna strum my (C#dim7)guitar and (G)(E7)yodelayheehee 'cause (A7)that's the (D7)life I (G)love.
