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


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


[X]I might’ve [C]had a side-[G]kick with a [F]funny [G]name
Running [C]wild through the [G]hills chasing [F]Jesse [G]James
[C]Ending [G]up on the [F]brink of [G]danger
[C]Riding shot-[G]gun for the [F]Texas [G]Rangers
Go [C]west young [G]man, haven't [F]you been [G]told
Cali-[C]fornia's full of [G]whisky, [F]women and [G]gold
Sleeping [C]out all [G]night beneath the [F]desert [G]stars
A [C]dream in my [G]eye and a [F]prayer… in my [F]heart [F]↓


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