Let The Cowboy Dance

1. [E] He ain't been right, since she's been [B7]gone
He's been known to tie one [E]on
Glass could break and chairs could [B7]fly
We best keep him occup[E]ied

chorus:
Let the cowboy d[E]ance, let him dance all n[B7]ight
Maybe he won't fuss, maybe he won't f[E]ight
It's our only hope, it's our only c[B7]hance
Clear the floor boys, and let the cowboy d[E]ance

2. [E] Let him kick up his heels, or he'll kick down the d[B7]oors
Give him lots of room, when he hits the f[E]loor
If he asks to dance with your w[B7]ife
Let her go boys, and save your [E]life

Repeat chorus

Instrumental break

(Change to key of F)

3. Music [F]calms the savage b[C7]east
He's a big old boy, at the very l[F]east
He'll get over her some[C7]day
Until then, stay outta his [F]way

Repeat chorus (in F)
(Tag) Clear the [C7]floor boys, and let the cowboy [F]dance
