(A) She wore glass slippers (D)
(A) She held her head up (E) high
(A) She had that sparkle (D) at her feet
And that (A)'.(E) twinkle in her (A) eye

She said (A) I'm looking for a (D) cowboy
To (A) take me (E) for a (A) ride
Chorus 1
And he can (D) rope me on the (A) prairie
And he can (D) ri-ide me on the (A) plain
And I will (D) be his Cinder-(F#m)-ella (D)
If he'll (A) be my (E) cowboy (A) man
She said I've got a 40-gallon (D) Stetson hat
With a (A) 38-foot (E) brim
We could (A) dance around the (D) outside baby
(A) 'Til we (E) both fall (A) in
Chorus 2
And you can (D) rope me on the (A) prairie
And you can (D) ri-ide me on the (A) plain

If you'll (A) be my (E) cowboy (A) man
Instrumental Break 'Follow pattern of chorus
(A) Now I ain't never been no (D) cowboy

I'll be (A) riding tall in my (D) saddle honey
With that (A) Cinde-(E)-rella by my (A) side
Chorus3
And I can (D) rope on the (A) prairie

And I'll (A) be her (E) cowboy (A) man
Chorus 4
I can (D) ro-ope her on the (A) prairie
And I can (D) ri-ide her on the (A) plain

Fade out
I can (D) ro-ope her on the (A) prairie
And I can (D) ri-ide her on the (A) plain
She will (D) be my Cinder-(F#m)-ella (D)
And I'll (A) be her (E) cowbo-oo-oy (A) ma-aa-aa-an
