Dixie Chicks ~ Cowboy Take Me Away
Written by Martie Seidel & Marcus Hummon
Transcribed by Adam Burke

Cappo 4th Fret

A                     Bm    A   D
I said I wanna touch the earth
              Bm       A       D
I wanna break it in my hands
              Bm      A            D              A
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
             Bm     A                D
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
               Bm   A          D
In the comfort of your arms
         Bm     A          D
On a pillow of blue bonnets
       A
In a blanket made of stars
          G         D          A
Oh it sounds good to me I said

CHORUS

               D    G   A
Cowboy take me away
                        Bm
Fly this girl as high as you can
    G              A
Into the wild blue
            D    G     A
Set me free oh I pray
                Bm
Closer to heaven above and
G             A
Closer to you closer to you
              Bm   A         D
I wanna walk and not run
              Bm   A         D
I wanna skip and not fall
              Bm   A        D
I wanna look at the horizon
               A
And not see a building standing tall
            Bm     A      D
wanna be the only one
       Bm    A    D
For miles and miles
      Bm      A         D
Except for maybe you
 A
And your simple smile
           G         D          A
 Oh it sounds good to me I said
    G              D         A
It sounds so good to me
