Shirley – Plaza Club

Chris Ledoux and Garth Brooks

I can [C] see you got your eye on this old [C7] cowboy, and I can [C] tell you've never [C7] had one for your [F] own.   Or you've [F7] never been around one,  now you're [C] thinkin that you've [A7] found one; Well it [D] might be kinda fun to take him [G] home.
You [C] giggle every [C7] time that I say [C] yes ma'am;  and I [C7] get this feelin if I held you [F] tight,  you d be [F7] seein his and hers, [C] buckles boots and [A7] spurs, but [D] that's a feelin' you'll get [G] over over- [C] -night.
 
[CHORUS] - - - Cause [F] whatcha gonna do with a [C] cowboy [F] when that old [F7] rooster crows at [C] dawn, when he's [F] lyin there in- [F7] -stead, of [C] getttin out of [A7] bed, and [D] puttin on his [D7] boots and gettin [G] gone, [ A A# C ]
[F] What you gonna do when he says [C] honey [F] I've got [F7] half a mind to [C] stay?   [F] What you gonna [F7] do with a [C] cowboy, [A7]  when [D] he don t saddle [G] up and ride [C] away.
 
You can [C] see it takes a [C7] special kinda [C] woman  to [C] put up with the life a cowboy [F] leads.   Cause his [F] boots are always [F7] muddy, and his [C] beer drinkin [A7] buddies will [D] camp out on your couch and never [G] leave,
Don t [C] even start to [C7] think you're gonna [C] change him, [C] you'd be better off to [C7] try and rope the [F] wind.  What you [F] see is what you've [F7]  got,  and he [C] can't be what he's [A7] not;  and [D] honey you can't [G] hide him from your [C] friends.
 
[CHORUS] - - - [ B A# A ] when [D] he don t saddle [G] up and ride [C] away.
