17 Where Cowboys Dare
V1 (Gm F Dm7 Cm Cm7)
Thrown to the ground of this earth hard to explain a constant struggle since birth a cold terrain And we're all alone forsaken in our boots we're shakin' All seeking love In this tough place CH1 (Gm F Dm F Dm Dm7 Cm Cm7) This with time still won't change The world will always be the same a hard luck place that beats the toughest You learn to stomp and beat on your chest But with time we will change gotta yield under the reins Things of spirit face a breakin' I learn to steel my hands from shakin' V2 (Gm F Dm7 Cm Cm7) Afraid to act for failure I just lay there frozen All these hard ways have laid me down, the stolen ambition of youth. I don't change the tact I've taken A pact the world would have you make my new credo forged unshaken "What you dont show them they can't break!" CH2 (Gm F Dm F Dm Dm7 Cm Cm7) This with time still won't change The world will always be the same Where the artless get their training From men of cruel acts unrestraining But with time we all change from the crowd we save our pearls A world where Cowboys only dare to cry alone under the night sky BR (Gm D# A# Fm Cm Cm7) My Boots find me shakin' Like aspen trees I'm quakin' but I'd never show that outside The world would eat me alive. My quiet strength makes a prisoner in chains so I won't allay your tears and my tender self portray V3 (Gm F Dm7 Cm Cm7) Forged in the fire and tough as nails stand strong and frozen. But nails can bend and break, only so much rust they can take. Like wind and rain it wears you down. Lines in the face cement a frown. And this you find your final self When you finally go the way Hey Hey hey The way we die. Won't you be crying now? © 2011 OneToMany Dedicated to my friend Alphonso Chapa, a kindred soul, who left this world way too early. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/saltlaketribune/obituary.aspx?n=alfonso-chapa&pid=182062418& |
