       !D                                                       G
IT’S DARK AND IT’S COLD, AND HE DON’T NEED TO BE TOLD

       !D                                                     A
IT’S TIME FOR HIM TO GET-UP AND GET GOIN’

                            !D                                                      G
‘CAUSE THERE’S STOCK YET TO MOVE AND THERE’S WORK YET TO DO

         C                           G                                       !D
AND MAKE-UP FOR THE DAYLIGHT THAT THEY’RE BURNIN’

Chorus:

G                                                             !D
COWBOY STANDARD TIME IS WHAT HE LIVES ON

G
HE DON’T NEED A WATCH,

                                     A
TO KNOW THE TIME OF DAY

G                                                             !D
COWBOY STANDARD TIME IS WHAT HE LIVES ON

                G  

HE DON’T KNOW ANOTHER LIFE

                        C                         !D
AND HE DON’T KNOW ANOTHER WAY

THERE WERE STARS OVERHEAD WHEN HE CRAWLED–OFF TO BED

LET THE YOUNGER MEN SIT AROUND THE FIRE

WHEN IT’S TOO DARK TOO READ, THEN IT’S TOO DARK TO SEE

AND A SEASONED HAND’LL KNOW WHEN TO RETIRE

3.

LIVIN’ WAY OUT THERE, THE CATTLE, THEY DON’T CARE

THE TIME OF DAY OR EVEN WHERE THEY’RE GOIN’

A MAN’LL SOMETIMES FIND, THE KIND OF PEACE OF MIND

HE ONLY KNOWS IN THE LIFE HE’S CHOSEN

Chorus:
