Horrible Histories - Cowboys

Well, ^GI’m a real-life cowboy just a ^Cquiet, humble ^Gfella. ^GThat’s what we’re like, apart from Mike, Yeah ^DI’m more of a yeller! Sing ^Gsongs to pass the evenings & ^Cbecause it soothes the herd So they won’t stamp^Gede unless Mike sings ^Dlead And shouts every single^G word!

^G‘Cause we’re cowboys, real-life ^Dcowboys Not like the ones you see on your ^GTV. We’ve never ^Cheld up banks at all We’re poorly ^Gpaid & kinda ^Esmall If you ^Astill wanna be a ^Dcowboy stick with m^Ge!

^GOn your horse for eighteen hours And that ^Csaddle sore’s a ^Gcurse. ^GThen you feed your horse ^GAnd yourself, of course Though ^Dbeans just make it worse!

Then ^Gyou’re back driving cattle That’s what ^Cbeing a cowboy means Moving those ^Gbeasts from west to ^Deast Sorry, it’s the ^Gbeans!

^G‘Cause we’re cowboys, real-life ^Dcowboys Not like the ones you’ve seen in the ^Gmovies. We’re not big ^Chunks like that John Wayne ‘Cause our ^Ghorses would ^Ecomplain If you ^Astill wanna be a ^Dcowboy join us, ^Gplease!

^BmYou should be aware We have some ^Ccustoms that are ^Gstrange Like ^Bmsaying ‘Howdy! ‘ not ‘Hello’ When you’re ^Cout here on the ^Drange.

^BmNever touch a cowboy’s hat, ^CNever ride his ^Ghorse. So ^Bmwhat would happen if I took your old mare? Well, I’d ^Cshoot you, of ^Dcourse!

^GCowboys, real-life ^Dcowboys Not like the ones you see on silver ^Gscreens. We didn’t ^Cgo out starting fights ‘Cause unions ^Gfought for our ^Erights Now ^AMike will do a ^Dsolo thanks to ^Gbeans!

^GAnd now my friend, I fear That the ^Cend is drawing near ‘Cause we ^Gonly ruled the ^Drange for twenty ^Gyears!
