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
    D
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
          D
He made grass and trees and mountains
        G
And a horse to be a friend
      A                               D
And trails to lead old cowboys home again

[Verse 2]
     G
The night life and big cities
     D
Is alright for awhile
     G                                    D
can sure make you feel good when you're there
           G
But the country's so purty
        D
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
          D
He made grass and trees and mountains
        G
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.
