Version 1

            [Intro]
|G  D    |C  D    | x4

[Verse 1]
                G     D         C        D          G
I'll bet you've never heard ole Marshall Dillon say
    D               C            D               G
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
  D          C           D        G
Settling down, would you marry me
   D           C                    D             G
If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please
       D          C            D         G
She'd have said yes in a New York minute
     D                 C
They never tied the knot
D                G
His heart wasn't in it
 D              C            D
He just stole a kiss as he rode away
G          D       C           Cadd9  
He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place

[Chorus]
                   G       D     C
I should've been a cowboy
D                      G        D      C     D
I should've learned to rope and ride
        G          D      C        D                  G    D    C
Wearing my six-shooter, riding by pony on a cattle drive
D           G           D      C     D
Stealing a young girl's heart
G         D         C
Just like Gene and Roy
D             G         D
Singing those campfire songs
C      D               G      D     C    Cadd9
Oh I should've been a cowboy

[Verse 2]
           G          D           C      D
I might of had a side kick with a funny name
         G               D        C          D
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James
G      D         C        D
Ending up on the brink of danger
G           D          C      D
Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers
    G         D          C          D
Go west young man, haven't you been told
    G          D          C         D
California's full of whisky, women and gold
         G         D              C       D
Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars
   G          D         C           Cadd9
A dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart

[Chorus]
                   G       D     C
I should've been a cowboy
D                      G        D      C     D
I should've learned to rope and ride
        G          D      C        D                  G    D    C
Wearing my six-shooter, riding by pony on a cattle drive
D           G           D      C     D
Stealing a young girl's heart
G         D         C
Just like Gene and Roy
D             G        D
Singing those campfire songs
C      D               G     D       C       D       
Oh I should've been a cowboy

G       D       C       Cadd9

[Chorus] 
                   G       D     C
I should've been a cowboy
D                      G        D      C     D
I should've learned to rope and ride
        G          D      C        D                  G    D    C
Wearing my six-shooter, riding by pony on a cattle drive
D           G           D      C     D
Stealing a young girl's heart
G         D         C
Just like Gene and Roy
D             G        D
Singing those campfire songs
C      D               G      D     C 
Oh I should've been a cowboy

D                G    D      C
Should've been a cowboy
D                G    D      C
Should've been a cowboy
