Cowgirls Don't Cry (From the album "Cowboy Town")
As Performed By: Brooks & Dunn
--------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard - 440 Concert Pitch
As usual there are two guitars in this song, one electric and one acoustic.
And while I'm fairly certain that the acoustic is playing the Dsus2, the
electric may be doubling him with a straight D chord. If you play this on
one guitar you can try alternating between the Dsus2 and the D with a quick
hammer on. Varies the sound a bit and isn't so monotonous.

Verse 1:
Her daddy [Dsus2]gave her, her first pony. [A]Then taught her to ride.
She climbed [Dsus2]high in that saddle. Fell I don't [A]know how many times.
He taught her a [F#m]lesson that she [E]learned. [D]Maybe a little too [E]well.
Chrous:
Cowgirls don't [Dsus2]cry. Ride, baby, [A]ride.
Lessons in [Dsus2]life are going to show you in time.
Soon [A]enough, your gonna know why.
It's gonna [F#m]hurt every now and [E]then.
If you [D]fall get back on [E]again.
Cowgirls don't cry.[A]
Verse 2:
She grew [Dsus2]up,She got married. But it [A]never was quite right.
She wanted a [Dsus2]house, a home and babies. He started [A]coming home late at night.
She didn't [F#m]let him see it [E]break her heart. She didn't [D]let him see her [E]fall apart.
Chrous:
'Cause Cowgirls don't c[Dsus2]ry. Ride, baby, [A]ride.
Lessons in [Dsus2]life are goinna' show you in time.
Soon [A]enough your gonna know why.
It's gonna [F#m]hurt every now and [E]then.
If you [D]fall get back on [E]again.
Cowgirls don't cry.[A][Dsus2-A-Dsus2-A]
Verse 3:
[Dsus2]Phone rang early one morning. Her momma's v[A]oice, she'd been crying.
Said it's your [Dsus2]daddy, you need to come home. This is [A]it, I think he's dying.
She laid the [F#m]phone down by his [E]head. The [D]last words that he [E]said.
Refrain:
Cowgirl don't [Dsus2]cry. Ride, baby, [A]ride.
Lessons in [Dsus2]life show us all in time. Too [A]soon God lets you know why.
If you [F#m]fall get right back [E]on. The good Lord [D]calls everybody [E]home.
Cowgirl don't cry.[A][Dsus2-A-Dsus2-A]
