These are the chords for Cowboy Scale of 1 to 10 by Cody Johnson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
[Intro]
G7 D7 A7 D7
[Verse 1]
D7
If there ever was a way
to rate a man
G7
On a cowboy scale of one to ten
A7
Kinda like you would a
women or a chili pepper
G7
A one ain’t hot, but a
ten’ll stop your ticker
D7
It’d be based on courage
and attitude
G7
Not the band on the hat
or the bling on the boot
A7
Less about the out,
more about the within
G7
On this cowboy scale
of one to ten

[Verse 2]
D7
Now take the pretty boy over
at the bar for example
G7
His Resistol’s huge and
his B.S. is ample
A7
But I got a feelin’
he’s nev?r stepped in none
G7
And on th? cowboy scale that
puts him down around a one
D7
Now the guy in the ball cap,
the t-shirt,
and dirty ol’ jeans
G7
Got a dozen gold buckles that
you’ll probably never see
A7
‘Cause he really don’t give
a damn what you think he is
G7 D7
On your cowboy scale of one to ten
[Chorus]
G7 D7 A7 D7
Some ride bulls and some ride fences
G7 D7 E7 A7
Some ride off into that sunset
G7 D7 Bm
Some drive cattle and some
A G
drive Chevy’s
A G
E7 A7
But they all drive them ladies crazy

D7
Now the cowgirls, boys,
they’re the ones who know
G7
The real deal from ol’ Ricky Rodeo
A7
Cause let me tell ya fellas,
’til they see you ride
G7
They’ll never give you more
than a four, maybe five
D7
Now not all cowboys hail
from the Lonestar state
G7
California, Alaska to Canada, eh?

I even know a few hippies,
long hair and tattoos

That sure are some

tough mother buckaroos

[Verse 4]
D7
So if ya ever took a big
ol’ dip of Copenhagen
G7
Started barroom brawls
or just participated
A7
Know a quarter horse
can’t be started with a coin
G7
Y’ain’t quite there yet,
boys, but you’re getting warm
D7
....I’ve been around some,
and I’d like to say
G7
If you really wanna know
who’s the real John Wayne
A7
Well, that’s the folks who serve
and protect this great land
And on the cowboy scale
G7
That’s a top drawer ten
