Verse 1:
[C#5]On that [E5]very first day, the [B5]Lord sat down and saw [F#5]fit to say
"Let there be [C#5]light!" [E5]so he could tell the [B5]day time from the [F#5]night
[C#5]And then he [E5]spoke again, [B5]felt the wind come [F#5]rolling in
Smelt the [C#5]rain,[E5] it soaked everyt[B5]hing[F#5]
Prechorus 1:
[B5] And then the mountains rose up, [B5] across the Great Plains
[B5] And all the angels up in Heaven started [G#5]singing,
"All it's missing is a pretty thing"
Chorus:
Let there be [C#5]cowgirls for every [E5]cowboy
Make 'em[B5] strong as any [F#5]man, Lordy[C#5]
Something you can't [E5]tame, she's a mustang[B5]
The heartbeat of the [F#5]heartland
She's got a [C#5]drawl, ya'll,
Yeah, [E5]she's the salt of the [B5]earth that rocks my w[F#5]orld[E-F#5][E-F#5]
[E]Let there be [C#5]cowgi[E5]rls, co[B5]me on[F#5]
[C#5] [E5] [B5] [F#5]
Verse 2:
[C#5]He made me back in [E5]'68, the [B5]first time I met her I was [F#5]nearly eight
And she was[C#5] ten,[E5] her name was little [B5]KayLynn[F#5]
She was [C#5]born to a farmer who was [E5]friends with my father,
I was [B5]in love with the share[F#5]cropper's only daughter
[C#5]Thought I was in[E5], he made me think [B5]again[F#5]
Prechorus 2:
[B5] But when I turned 16, [B5] I thought it couldn't get worse
[B5] I saw her riding on a horse and fell in [G#5]love so bad it hurt
Chorus:
Let there be [C#5]cowgirls for every [E5]cowboy
Make 'em [B5]strong as any [F#5]man, Lordy[C#5]
Something you can't [E5]tame, she's a mustang[B5]
The heartbeat of the [F#5]heartland
She's got a [C#5]drawl, ya'll,
Yeah, [E5]she's the salt of the [B5]earth that rocks my w[F#5]orld[E-F#5][E-F#5]
