Verse 1:

Bb
You’ve been riding on ranges
You’re not supposed to ride
Hanging out with strangers
                    Bb7
And cowgirls of the night
                  Eb
While back at the ranch house
                      Bb
I’ve waited all night  long
    C7
Now  here you come
              F7
Straggling in at the break of dawn

Chorus:

Bb
You’ve been a bad cowboy
Go to my room
You’ve been doing a whole of things
                          F7
You shouldn’t oughta be a  doin’
     Bb                  Bb7
Like  horsin around down town
       Eb
Kay ay yipping and wild women
F7
 You’ve been a bad cowboy
        Bb
Go to my room.

Verse2:

Bb
You’ve been a letting those cowgirls
Buzz around like bees
Trying to get free samples of
                   Bb7
What belongs to me
                        Eb
You’ve been burning the  candle honey
        Bb
At both ends
           C7
And you’re looking a lot like
                          F7
Something the cat dragged  in

Chorus:

Bb
You’ve been a bad cowboy
Go to my room
You’ve been doing a whole of things
                          F7
You shouldn’t oughta be a  doin’
     Bb                  Bb7
Like  horsing around downtown
      Eb
Every  morning night and noon
F7
You’ve been a bad cowboy
         Bb
Go to my  room.

Bridge:

     F7
Yeah you’ve been bad
I can always tell
     Bb
When you’ve been up to no good
     C7
It’s all so sad
Cause I know so well
F7
 You’d be good if you could.

Chorus:

           Bb
But honey,   you’ve been a bad cowboy
Go to my room
You’ve been doing a whole of things
                          F7
You shouldn’t oughta be a doin’
     Bb                 Bb7
Like horsing around downtown
       Eb
Kay ay yipping and wild women

End With:

F7
 You’ve been a bad cowboy
F7
 You’ve been a bad cowboy
        Bb  F7Bb
