[Verse 1]
D C
Come all you young cowboys and listen to me
G D
And don't waste your life on that old hanging tree
D C
And don't think that size ever makes man small
G D
You find out it's nothing at all
D C
They know a tension when the old words are said
G D
Don't cheat in poker and don't lose your head
D C
Lost cowboys are human and bullets kill dead
G D
Six guns don't make a man tall
[Chorus]
C G D C G D
Because it's all so easy to run with the crowd
C G D
And they are a damn good bunch of cowboys
C G A
Makes a man feel proud
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
D C
Do a honest days work for the money you spend
G D
Be fast with the ladies and slow with the men
D C
Be kind to your horses and true to your friends
G D
And treat every mother's son fair
D C
Don't stay in town late on a Saturday night
G D
Don't let no one tease you into a fight
D
Because when they're saddled with guns
C
There ain't nobody right
G D
It's a short trail that leads to nowhere
[Chorus]
C G D C G D
Because it's all so easy to run with the crowd
C G D
And they are a damn good bunch of cowboys
C G A
Makes a man feel proud
[Solo]

Because it's all so easy to run with the crowd

Makes a man feel proud
