[Verse 1]
           E                        C#m
My head is aching, and I'm late for work
                      A                             B7
There's a girl in the kitchen, and she's wearing my shirt
               E                                  C#m
My buddies are home again, they're threatening to leave
                    A         B7                     E
Yes that beer on my nightstand will be breakfast for me


[Chorus]
                    E    A                E
Cause that's how it goes with cowboys and friends
                C#m  A              E
As soon as it's over, it all starts again
                       A
That's the way that it should be
B7                             C#m   A
Cause that's the way that it's been
A                                       B7
Yeah the fun never ends, when the party begins
            E
Cowboys and friends


[Verse 2]
                      E                        C#m
I've been working all morning, just busting my back
                   A                        B7
And it's all for a foreman who doesn't know jack
                E                                 C#m
My buddies keep talking, they say we're going out late
                          A     B7                  E
Guess that sleep that I'm wanting will just have to wait


[Chorus]
                    E    A                E
Cause that's how it goes with cowboys and friends
                C#m  A              E
As soon as it's over, it all starts again
                       A
That's the way that it should be
B7                             C#m   A
Cause that's the way that it's been
A                                       B7
Yeah the fun never ends, when the party begins
            E
Cowboys and friends


[Outro]
               A                               B7
Yeah the party begins where this two lane road ends
            E
Cowboys and friends
