G
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
A7
I want to learn to rope and ride
D7
I want to ride o'er the plains and the deserts
G
Out west of the great divide
I want to hear the coyotes howling
C
As the sun sets in the West
G E7
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
A7 D7 G
The life I love the best
I want to ride old paint get him on a run
A7
I want to feel the wind in my face
D7
A thousand miles from all the city lights
G
Going at a cowhand's pace
I want to pillow my head near the sleeping herd
C
While the moon shines down from above
G E7
I want to strum my guitar and a-yodel a dee hee
A7 D7 G
Oh that's the life I love
Now I have found my cowboy sweetheart
A7
And he taught me to rope and ride
D7
And we settled down in a California town
G
Out west of the great divide
Our two little cowgirls had two kids of their own
C
That makes me a yodeling grandma
G E7
I’m still riding side by side with my cowboy sweetheart
A7 D7 G
He’s a rootin’ tootin’ cowboy grandpa
