[Verse 1]
C G Am
They were carved from the canyons and raised on the plains
C G Am
Made for stampedes and Cowtown saloons
C G Am
They choked on the trail dust, slept out in the rain
F G C
Led hard lives that ended too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
That one generation transformed a nation
F C Dm G
And as descendants of those chosen few
[Chorus]
C G Am G
We're cowboys, cowboys forever
F C Dm G
We'll stand together as long as we live and breathe
C G Am G
We're cowboys, cowboys forever
F C Dm G
We've always been, it's what we'll always be
Am
Cowboys forever
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C G Am
Now they're cops in the city, their lives on the line
C G Am
They're truck drivers haulin' that freight
C G Am
They're young soldiers leavin' their loved ones behind
F G C
They're all those who pull their own weight
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
That one generation that transformed a nation
F C Dm G
As the decedents, we all salute you
[Chorus]
C G Am C
'Cause we're cowboys, cowboys forever
F C Dm G
We'll ride together as long as we live and breathe
C G Am G
We're cowboys, cowboys forever
F C Dm G
We've always been, it's what we'll always be
Am
We're cowboys forever
