  			G               C 
Hear my song as I ride along 
           G            D 
I'm just a Happy Rovin' Cowboy 
G                       C 
Herdin' the dark clouds out of the sky 
D                   G 
Keepin' the heavens blue 
 
 
G                  C 
No where to go and nothing to do 
           G            D 
I'm just a happy rovin' cowboy 
       G                    C 
Let me ride that long trail down to the end 
          D                G 
Where the skies are always blue 
 
 
G                             C 
I aint got a dime, I'm just-a wastin' my time 
           G            D 
I'm just a Happy Rovin' Cowboy 
       G                      D       C 
Let me sing my song til' they call me home 
       G       D        G 
To the land be-yond the blue
