Tom: D
C
Her Daddy gave her her first pony
G
Then told her to ride
C
She climbed high in that saddle
G
Fell I don't know how many times
Em D
He taught her a lesson that she learned
C D
maybe a little too well
[Chorus]
C
Cowgirls don't cry
G
Ride, baby, ride
C
Lessons in life are gonna show you in time
G
Soon enough you're gonna know why
Em D
It's gonna hurt every now and then
C D
If you fall get back on again
G
Cowgirls don't cry
[Verse 2]
C
She grew up, she got married
G
Never was quite right
C
She wanted a house, a home and babies
G
He started coming home late at night
Em D
She didn't let him see it break her heart
C D
She didn't let him see her fall apart
[Chorus]
C
'Cause cowgirls don't cry
G
Ride, baby, ride
C
Lessons in life are gonna show you in time
G
Soon enough you're gonna know why
Em D
It's gonna hurt every now and then
C D
If you fall get back on again
G
Cowgirls don't cry
[Verse 3]
C
Phone rang early one morning
G
Her momma's voice, she'd been crying
C
Said it's your daddy, you need to come home
G
This is it, I think he's dying
Em D
She laid the phone down by his head
C D
The last words that he said
[Chorus]
G
Cowgirls don't cry
D
Ride, baby, ride
G
Lessons in life show us all in time
D
Too soon God lets you know why
Bm A
If you fall get right back on
G A
Good Lord calls everybody home
D
Cowgirls don't cry
