[Verse 1]N.C. E B7 E
On the eighth day God noticed a problem,
B7 E
for there before him stood a cowboy alone.
A E
Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud,
F# B
God knew he'd never make it on his own
[Verse 2] E B7 E
So God looked down all over creation,
B7 E
and listened as that cowboy prayed.
A
God took passion and thunder,
E
patience and wonder,
B7
then he sent down the best thing that God ever made.
[Chorus]A
Cowboys and angels,
D A
leather and lace,
E B7 E
salt of the earth meets heavenly grace.
A D A
Cowboys and angels, tested and tried,
E B7 E
it's a long way to heaven and one hell of a ride.
[Verse 3]E B7 E
Nothin's changed since the dawn of creation,
B7 E
For you will find them together today.
A E
And only heaven above them, knows why she loves him,
F# B
But it must be the reason, she don't fly away.
[Chorus]A
Cowboys and angels,
D A
leather and lace,
E B7 E
salt of the earth meets heavenly grace.
A D A
Cowboys and angels, tested and tried,
E B7 E
it's a long way to heaven and one hell of a ride.
