C#5   E5   B5   F#5   
C#5   E5   B5   F#5  
C#5   E5   B5   F#5   

Verse 1:
 
C#5     E5                  B5                    F#5 
On that very first day, the Lord sat down and saw fit to say 
              C#5     E5                   B5                F#5 
"Let there be light!" so he could tell the day time from the night 
C#5         E5           B5                 F#5 
And then he spoke again, felt the wind come rolling in 
          C#5  E5               B5    F#5 
Smelt the rain, it soaked everything 

Pre chorus 1:
 
B5                                       B5 
        And then the mountains rose up,      across the Great Plains 
B5                                              G#5            
        And all the angels up in Heaven started singing, 
        "All it's missing is a pretty thing" 


             C#5                E5 
Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy 
        B5             F#5        C#5 
Make 'em strong as any man, Lordy 
                    E5                   B5 
Something you can't tame, she's a mustang 
                     F#5 
The heartbeat of the heartland 
            C#5 
She's got a drawl, ya'll, 
      E5                    B5                   F#5    E F#5  E F#5 
Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world 
E            C#5  E5     B5   F#5 
Let there be cowgirls, come on

Verse 2:
 
C#5                E5       B5                         F#5 
He made me back in '68, the first time I met her I was nearly eight 
           C#5  E5                   B5     F#5 
And she was ten, her name was little KayLynn 
        C#5                      E5 
She was born to a farmer who was friends with my father, 
      B5                    F#5 
I was in love with the sharecropper's only daughter 
C#5             E5                 B5    F#5 
Thought I was in, he made me think again 

Pre chorus 2:
 
B5                             B5 
        But when I turned 16,      I thought it couldn't get worse 
B5                                              G#5 
        I saw her riding on a horse and fell in love so bad it hurt

                     F#5 
The heartbeat of the heartland 
            C#5 
She's got a drawl, ya'll, 
      E5                    B5                   F#5    E F#5  E F#5 
Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world
