Intro: | G | Am | D | G, G, D, - | 
 
(verse 1) 
   G                                            Am  
He wanted someone who loves the land as much as He does 
D                                             G    D 
Someone who knows the blessin' of a good hard rain 
G                                                Am 
Somebody simple and strong that He knows He can count on 
D                                              G    D 
Soft as the wind, yet bold enough to bless His name 
 
 
                     G                            Am 
That's why God loves cowboys, I believe there's a place in His heart 
               G                              
Cause when the herd needs tendin', the fences needs mendin' 
G                     D            C                      D 
He knows they'll work hard, on His great big ranch called life 
           G             G/F#    Em 
Cause they love and take care of all His creations 
         C                                                   A 
From the horses they ride to those broken-hearted honky tonk angels 
Am   G/B  D 
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh  
                     G 
That's why God loves cowboys 
 
(Solo)

(verse 2) 
   G                                    Am  
He knew they'd need room to breathe and freedom 
      D                                    G     D 
So he gave em' Texas and those big Montana skies 
       G                                             Am 
He was there when He heard those prayers coming from Cheyenne 
         D                               G    D 
Right be-side that young man on his last ride 
 
                     G                            Am 
That's why God loves cowboys, I believe there's a place in His heart 
               G                              
Cause when the herd needs tendin', the fences needs mendin' 
G                     D            C                      D 
He knows they'll work hard, on His great big ranch called life 
           G             G/F#    Em 
Cause they love and take care of all His creations 
         C                                                   A 
From the horses they ride to those broken-hearted honky tonk angels 
Am   G/B  D 
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh  
                     G 
That's why God loved cowboys 
 
(Bridge) 
Bm                        C 
Ooh those cold nights get lonely 
         G                                      D 
He needs more then just a good fire to keep him warm 
Bm                       C 
Ooh there's nothin' more holy 
       G                                 D 
Than a love of a woman to weather life's storm 
 
 
                     G                             Am 
That's why God loves cowgirls, I believe there's a place in His heart 
               D 
Cause when the herd needs tendin' and the fences needs mendin' 
G                     D            C                      D 
He knows they'll work hard, on His great big ranch called life 
           G             G/F#    Em 
Cause they love and take care of all His creations 
         C                                                  A 
From the horses they ride to those broken-hearted honkytonk heroes 
Am        D 
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh 
                     G 
That's why God loves cowgirls 
Am        D 
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh 
                     G 
That's why God loves cowboys | Am | D | G
