Cody Johnson - Cowboy Scale of 1 to 10: Guitar Chords

    D#7
If there ever was a way to rate a man
      G#7
On a cowboy scale of one to ten
       A#7
Kinda like you would a women or a chili pepper
   G#7
A one ain't hot, but a ten'll stop your ticker

It'd be based on courage and attitude
Not the band on the hat or the bling on the boot
Less about the out, more about the within
On this cowboy scale of one to ten

Now take the pretty boy over at the bar for example
His Resistol's huge and his B.S. is ample
But I got a feelin' he's never stepped in none
And on the cowboy scale that puts him down
around a one

Now the guy in the ball cap, the t-shirt,
and dirty ol' jeans
Got a dozen gold buckles that you'll
probably never see
'Cause he really don't give a damn
what you think he is
On your cowboy scale of one to ten

Chorus:
G#7       D#7       A#7        D#7
Some ride bulls and some ride fences
G#7      D#7  F7        A#7
Some ride off into that sunset
G#7        D#7        Cm     A#    G#
Some drive cattle and some drive Chevy's
      F7                 A#7
But they all drive them ladies crazy

Now the cowgirls, boys, they're the ones who know
The real deal from ol' Ricky Rodeo
Cause let me tell ya fellas, 'til they see you ride
They'll never give you more than a four, maybe five
Now not all cowboys hail from the Lonestar state
California, Alaska to Canada, eh?
I even know a few hippies, long hair and tattoos
That sure are some tough mother buckaroos

Chorus

So if ya ever took a big ol' dip of Copenhagen
Started barroom brawls or just participated
Know a quarter horse can't be started with a coin
Y'ain't quite there yet, boys, but you're
getting warm
I've been around some, and I'd like to say
If you really wanna know who's the real John Wayne
Well, that's the folks who serve and protect
this great land
And on the cowboy scale
That's a top drawer ten
