          WHAT COWBOYS DO
           CASEY DONAHEW


CAPO: NONE

INTRO:
One. two. three, four

F  F  F  Bb


VERSE:
 F
Broken bones and broken hearts, and I`ve
 Bb
Had my shoulder torn apart
     F                    Bb
But it`s nothin` like the pain I felt when I lost you
 F
Honky-tonks and short brown checks
  Bb
And all those late nights I regret


PRE-CHORUS:
  Dm
I left you all alone, crying,
         C
Wonderin` why I lay it all on the line


CHORUS:
           F
`Cause I`ve earned scars and I`ve earned buckles
       Bb
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
       F                  C
I`ve driven all night long, tryin` to make a rodeo

         F
I`m strong as a freight train, just as steady
      Bb
Crack the gate, you know I`ll be ready
        Dm    C        Bb  Bb
And I`m gonna hang on until the ride is through

C               F Bb F  Bb
 `Cause that`s what cowboys do


VERSE:
 F
Worn out dually full of whiskey dents, and
 Bb
Memories of the time we spent
F                         Bb
A million miles of blacktop never led me home to you
 F
Eight seconds of pain and fame, and these
  Bb
Thoughts of you drive me insane


PRE-CHORUS:
  Dm
I left you all alone, crying,
           C
And wonderin` why I lay it all on the line


CHORUS:
           F
`Cause I`ve earned scars and I`ve earned buckles
       Bb
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
       F                  C
I`ve driven all night long, tryin` to make a rodeo

         F
I`m strong as a freight train, just as steady
      Bb
Crack the gate, you know I`ll be ready
        Dm    C        Bb  Bb
And I`m gonna hang on until the ride is through

C               F Bb F  Bb
 `Cause that`s what cowboys do


BREAK:
 F
One day when the glory`s gone, and I`ve
Bb
Got no strength to carry on
 Dm                 C         C
Realize the only thing I should`ve held on to was you


CHORUS:
         F
And I`ve earned scars and I`ve earned buckles
       Bb
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles
       F                  C
I`ve driven all night long, tryin` to make a rodeo

         F
I`m strong as a freight train, just as steady
      Bb
Crack the gate, you know I`ll be ready
        Dm    C        Bb  Bb
And I`m gonna hang on until the ride is through

 `Cause that`s what cowboys do


OUTRO:
Bb            F Bb
 That`s what cowboys do

Broken bones and broken hearts
