My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys chords

I [D]grew up dreaming of being a cowboy
And [G]loving the cowboy [D]ways.
P[D]ursuing the life of my high riding heroes
I [E7] burned up my childhood [A7]days.

I [D]learned all the rules of a modern day drifter
Don`t[G] you hold on to nothing[D] too long
Just [G]take what you need from the [D]ladies and [G]leave them
With the [D]words of a [A7]sad country [D]song.

[CHORUS]
My [G]heroes have always been [D]cowboys
[E7]And they still are it [A7]seems
[G]Sadly in search of and [D]one step in [G]back of
Them[D]selves and their [A7]slow moving [D]dreams.

Co[D]wboys are special with their own brand of misery
From [G]being alone too l[D]ong.
Y[D]ou could die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
K[E7]nowing well that your best days are [A7]gone

P[D]icking up hookers instead of my pen
I let the [G]words of my youth fade [D]away.
[G]Old worn out saddles and [D]old worm out [G]memories
With no [D]one and [A7]no place to [D]stay.
