Cowgirls Dont Cry

Brooks And Dunn

Text File

Cowgirls Don't Cry (From the album "Cowboy Town")
As Performed By: Brooks & Dunn
--------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard - 440 Concert Pitch

As usual there are two guitars in this song, one electric and one acoustic.
And while I'm fairly certain that the acoustic is playing the Dsus2, the
electric may be doubling him with a straight D chord. If you play this on
one guitar you can try alternating between the Dsus2 and the D with a quick
hammer on. Varies the sound a bit and isn't so monotonous.

Key:
/    = slide up
\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)
b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb   = pre-bend
r    = release-bend
t^   = tap with righthand finger
h    = hammer-on
p    = pull-off
~    = Vibrato
*    = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
**   = Artificial Harmonic
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\)  = Dive w\bar
(/)  = Release w\bar
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum

Phone rang early one morning. Her momma's voice, she'd been crying.
               Dsus2                                 A
Said it's your daddy, you need to come home. This is it, I think he's dying.
             F#m               E         D                  E 
She laid the phone down by his head. The last words that he said.

              Dsus2            A 
Cowgirl don't cry. Ride, baby, ride.
           Dsus2                         A
Lessons in life show us all in time. Too soon God lets you know why.
       F#m                 E                 D               E 
If you fall get right back on. The good Lord calls everybody home.
