VERSE:

C              F             C
He was only a lavender cowboy,
    F                            G
The hairs on his chest they were two
C            F          C
He wanted to follow the heroes,
    G         G7        C
And do as the he men do

VERSE:

C                    F            C
Red, green, and many colored hair tonics
   F                           G
He rubbed on his chest day and night
C                     F           C
When he looked in the mirror next morning,
G      G7            C
No new hairs grew in sight

VERSE:

C              F            C
He battled for Red Nellie's honor,
    F                      G
He cleaned out a hold-up's nest
C                F          C
He died with two six-guns a-smokin',
    G        G7           C
But only two hairs on his chest
