[Verse 1]
   D
My cowboy life, is so happy and free
          G                            D
Out West, where the laws, don't bother me
  G                 D
I take my troubles, like a toy
    E7     A7          D
I'm just a yodeling cowboy

[Chorus]
D                           G
At the set of the sun, when my work is done
      D              A7
On my pony, I take a ride
          D                    G
Where the coyotes howl and the varmints prowl
        D           A     D
With my forty-four, by my side

[Bridge]
                               G              D
I go down that lonesome trail, just galloping long
  G             D              A7/E   D
I love to sing, this yodeling, cowboy song

[Verse 2]
D                           G
Where a man is a man, and a friend is a friend
D                               A7
 Where all my cares and worries end
  D                 G
I have no troubles, nothing but joy
    E7     A7          D
I'm just a yodeling cowboy
