Chord A Cowboys Prayer by Johnny Cash

verse 1 A lord , i’ve never lived where churches grow , E i loved creation better as it stood , that day you finished it so long ago , A and looked upon your work and called it good , verse 2 A i know that others find you in the light , E that sifted down through tinted window panes , and yet i seem to feel you near tonight A in this dim , quiet starlight on the plains , verse 3 A i thank you , lord , that i’m placed so well , E that you’ve made my freedom so complete , that i’m no slave to whistle , clock or bell , A nor weak eyed prisoner of wall street , verse 4 A just let me live my life as i’ve begun , E and give me work that’s open to the sky , make me a partner of the wind and sun , A and i won’t ask a life that’s soft or high , verse 5 A let me be easy on the man that’s down , E let me be square and generous with all , i’m careless sometimes , lord , when i’m in town , A but never let ’em say i’m mean or small
