(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

(Chorus)
                     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

(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
(Chorus)
                     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

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

(Chorus) 
                     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
