C
I have always had my heroes

     F              C
I've loved a lot of legends

               F               G7
Many men in my mind are riding tall

       F
But my cowboy hero hat's off

       A#             F
To the man who rode a donkey

C        F        C      G7      C
He's the greatest cowboy of them all



He loves all His little doggies

   F                       C
He speaks to them kind and gentle

                  F                 G7
And He'll lift up any maverick that falls

        F
He sees every stray that's scatters

          A#                F
Like he's the only one that matters

C        F        C      G7      C
He's the greatest cowboy of them all


        F
Once He rode into the sunset

   A#             F
Of some returning sunrise

      
He'll call up all the riders in the sky

     
I'll get my roll together

        A#             F
Getting ready for that roundup 

     A#                 F             C
That winds up where old cowboys never die


    
The trail He rides is narrow

         F                  C
But it's straighter than an arrow

                       F                 G7
And He rides point for all the great and small

        F
He will take us through the wire

   A#                   F
On to that plane that's higher

C        F        C      G7      C
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
