Cant Be A Cowboy Forever Ukulele Chords

Verse 1:
    Am                       C
Now he don't expect her to stay true to him
    Am                       C
and she never says that she will
     Am                     C
but he's got a first love that just might kill him
     Am                             C
and she knows he's hooked on the thrill
      C                          C
So she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more
          C                        C
for the fever that drives him to just run its course
      Em                         C                       C
she talks to that picture they took their last night together

Chorus:
           C          D        C             C          D       Am
Says you can't be a cowboy forever, no you can't be a cowboy forever.

Verse 2:
    Am                       C                            Am     
Sometimes he calls her he swears that the ground hurts, more than it did 
    C
yesterday.
     Am                           C                         Am    
But she knows his voice, and he still sounds determined, to do whatever it 
  C
takes.
     C                           C                             C
So she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more, for the fever that 
                C
drives him to just run its course
       Em                          C                       C
the whiskey he drinks said some things last spring that upset her.

Chorus:
         C           D       C             C           D      Am
But he can't be a cowboy forever, no you can't be a cowboy forever.

Verse 3:
      Am                             C
Then one night he shows up, and he says what's for dinner
      Am                      C
with that cocky grin on his face.
     Am                          C
the way that she smiled and the way that she held him
  Am                     C
told him he wasn't too late.
    Em                       C                            C
As she closed her eyes, and he slipped that ring on her finger.

Chorus:
           C           D      C
Said you can't be a cowboy forever,
         C           D      C
No you can't be a cowboy forever,
         C           D      Am
No you can't be a cowboy forever.
