Billy Joe Shaver (we Are)the Cowboys
A D A
Texans are gathered up in Colorado
A E
The kid with a fast gun ain't with them today
E A D A
The cowboys are riding tall in the saddle
A E A
They shoot from the heart with the songs that they play
There's a right handsome woman on up around Boulder
They got slick hardwood floors and a pot belly stove
She swears I am someone she can believe in
She the best Colorado gal I've ever known
Chorus:
A D A
We are the cowboys the true sons of freedom
A E
We are the men who will get the job done
E A D A
We're picking our words so we won't have to eat them
A E A
Were rounding them up and then driving them home
Cowboys are average American people
Texicans mexicans black man and jews
They love this old world and they don't want to loose
it
There counting on me and there counting on you
The world will breathe easy when we stop the bleeding
The fighting will end when all hunger is gone
There's those who are blind so will all have to lead
them
It's everyones job till we get the work done
Chorus:
A D A
We are the cowboys the true sons of freedom
A E
We are the men who will get the job done
E A D A
We're picking our words so we won't have to eat them
A E A
Were rounding them up and then driving them home
A E A
Were rounding them up and then driving them home
