G                            F              E7
 Ladies take to cowboys like kids take to clowns
Am                 D7             G
They both love 'em without asking why
G7            C                 B7
There's those come on looks and laughter
               Em               Em7
But when it's time for leaving town
Am                           D7
Seems nobody cares enough to cry


[Chorus]
          C     D7            Bm7
Everybody loves cowboys and clowns
Em7     C            B7             Em
 You're everybody's hero for just a little while
G             C             D7          B7             Em
 But when the goodbyes are said and the spotlight goes dead
        A7                             D
There's no one left to cares to hang around 
            D7     G
To love the cowboys and clowns

G                            F              E7
Cowboys love candlelight and lacy things on ladies
      Am                  D7                 G
While kids loves carousels and funny painted faces
            C              B7
But there's no balloons no sweet perfume 
     Em                   Em7
When midnight brings you down
           Am                     A7             D7
No one to hold you close when the morning comes around


[Chorus]
          C     D7            Bm
Everybody loves cowboys and clowns
Em      C            B7             Em
 You're everybody's hero for just a little while
G7            C             D7          B7             Em
 But when the goodbyes are said and the spotlight goes dead
        A7                             D7
There's no one left to cares to hang around 
            D7         G      D7
To love the cowboys and clowns
