[Intro]
D  Bm  Bm  D  Bm  D
 
 
[Verse]
 D
Superman, Man of Steel
Bm               D
He can fly, but here's the deal
 Bm             D
Superman ain't really real
   Bm                  A
So God made somethin' better
 
     D
His mama says he's 

just flesh and bone
     Bm               D
The girls say he's a rollin' stone
     G                  D
But shake his hand and then 

you'll know
   Bm       D
A cowboy's made of leather
 
 
[Chorus]
         G              
You can bend him, 
               D
but you can't break him
          Bm                A     
It takes years of work and dirt 
             G
and hurt to make him
 
          G                  Bm    
When the whole world falls apart, 
       A      G
he'll hold together
 
       Em7                  
That's how you know that a 
 A                D
cowboy's made of leather
 
 
[Instrumental]
Bm  Bm  D  Bm  D
 
 
[Verse]
       D
He'll kick and cuss in broad daylight
     Bm                 D
When he gets drunk, he likes to fight
         Bm               
But his head's on straight 
         D
and his heart gets right
 Bm              A
When he's under pressure
 
     D
And he'll start out stiff and rough
     G                       D
But give him time and he'll soften up
     Bm                  D
And that just makes him twice as tough
         Bm       A       D
Yeah, a cowboy's made of leather
 
 
[Chorus]
                G       
'Cause you can bend him, 
               D
but you can't break him
          Bm                A     
It takes years of work and dirt 
             G
and hurt to make him
 
              G                  Bm   
And when the whole world falls apart, 
       A      G
he'll hold together
 
       Em7                  
That's how you know that a 
 A                D      D
cowboy's made of leather
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
          G            D
Yippee-ki-o, yippee-ki-ay
          G     A
Yippee-ki-o-ooo-oo
          Bm           G
Yippee-ki-o, yippee-ki-ay
             D     A
Yippee-ti-yi-o-ooo-oo
 
 
[Chorus]
         G       
You can bend him, 
               D
but you can't break him
          Bm                A     
It takes years of work and dirt 
             G
and hurt to make him
 
              G                  Bm     
And when the whole world falls apart, 
       A      G
he'll hold together
 
       Em                   
That's how you know that a 
 A                Bm     A G
cowboy's made of leather
 
 
[Outro]
             Em7                  
Yeah, that's how you know that 
   A                D      Bm Bm D Bm D
a cowboy's made of leather
