Cowboy Up Cifras

Cowboy Up
By Chris Ledoux
The "Ramblin' Fever" version
 
This is the version of Chris LeDoux's first 'Cowboy Up' the one you can't get on spotify.
It is a very easy song to play with only 3 Chords G, Cadd9, Dsus4 and the beauty with this is,
they can all be played with your ring and pinky finger locked on the b and e strings 3rd fret throughout.
This isn't 100% correct but I think it sounds awesome!

Dsus4                        Cadd9
Ramblin' fever took him when he was 21
          G                     Cadd9
Tonight's rodeo is over but the fight has just begun
       Dsus4                           Cadd9
He was pounded into the ground, while chasin'
           G
after his dream
    Cadd9            G
But he ain't one for layin' down and
Cadd9       Dsus4
livin' in misery
 
[Chorus]
           Dsus4      Cadd9
You gotta' cowboy up, dust yourself off
    G                           Cadd9
Get back in the saddle, give it one more try
Dsus4                      G
Sweat and blood, it takes all you got
       Cadd9                 G
Cuz' the road to heaven is a hell of a ride
    Dsus4                    G
The tough get goin' when the goin' gets rough
          Cadd9                   G
Cuz' they know they gotta cowboy up

[Verse 2]
    Cadd9           G
He stopped off at a road side bar
   Cadd9              G
To have him a beer or two
       Cadd9          G
He was leanin' on the juke box
        Cadd9              G
When he saw her across the room
   Cadd9           G
He asked her for a dance
              Cadd9                     G
Cuz' he had a case of love at first sight
    Cadd9             G
But he didn't take it personal
         Cadd9              G
When she said you're not my type
 
[Chorus]
           Dsus4      Cadd9
he just cowboyed up, dust yourself off
    G                           Cadd9
Get back in the saddle, give it one more try
Dsus4                      G
Sweat and blood, it takes all you got
       Cadd9                 G
Cuz' the road to heaven is a hell of a ride
    Dsus4                    G
The tough get goin' when the goin' gets rough
          Cadd9                   G             Dsus4
Cuz' they know they gotta cowboy up  ......Hey!

[Bridge]
     Cadd9             G
From business suits to cowboy boots
   Cadd9              G
It hurts when you get thrown,
    Cadd9            G
But if you're gonna' be the best
         Cadd9            G
Well you got to get back on,
 
[Chorus]
    Dsus4      Cadd9

Sweat and blood, it takes all you got
       Cadd9                 G
Cuz' the road to heaven is a hell of a ride
