C                                    G
He ain't been right since she's been gone
                           C
He's been known to tie one on
                                   G
Glass could break and chairs could fly
                 C
We best keep him occupied 

[Chorus]
C                                      G
Let the cowboy dance let him dance all night 
                                   C
Maybe he won't fuss maybe he won't fight
                                 G
It's our only hope it's our only chance 
                                        C
Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance

[Verse 2]
C                                            G
Let him kick up his heels or he'll kick down doors 
                                       C
Give him lots of room when he hits the floor
                             G
If he ask to dance with your wife 
                             C
Let her go boy and save your life

[Chorus]
C                                      G
Let the cowboy dance let him dance all night
                                   C
Maybe he won't fuss maybe he won't fight
                                 G
It's our only hope it's our only chance
                                        C
Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance

[Verse 3]
C                      G
Music calms the savage beast 
                               C
He's a big ole boy at the very least
                       G
He'll get over her someday
                           C
Until then stay out of his way

[Chorus]
C                                     G
Let the cowboy dance let him dace all night 
                                   C
Maybe he won't fuss maybe he won't fight
                                 G
It's our only hope it's our only chance
                                        C
Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance
                                        C     G C
Clear the floor boys and let the cowboy dance
