 D MajorD            B minorBm     G+G
Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly
 D MajorD                B minorBm       G+G
Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free
 D MajorD                     B minorBm     G+G
But now theres fussing and theres fighting We all taking sides
 D MajorD                        B minorBm     G+G
While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide. You see


D MajorD            B minorBm    G+G
Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul
    D MajorD               B minorBm      G+G
Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole
       D MajorD               B minorBm      G+G
But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind
   D MajorD            B minorBm         G+G
That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind


    D MajorD             B minorBm    G+G
Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett
  D MajorD                   B minorBm    G+G
He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget
      D MajorD        B minorBm  G+G
So he said "Mine mine mine, all for me"
   D MajorD              B minorBm       G+G
It's great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free


   D MajorD                  B minorBm      G+G
So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head
 G+G      D MajorD                    B minorBm
He said "I'm giving you all a choice now, you're either with me or your
G+G
dead
      D MajorD              B minorBm     G+G
You know I got to have this kim, I cant get her off my mind
  D MajorD              B minorBm G+G
And I aint gonna stop until shes mine, mine"

E minorEm      G+G
Where do i stand?
     B minorBm         A augmentedA
Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the
E minorEm       G+G
sand. It's all gray.
     B minorBm          A augmentedA      G+G
There are no black and whites so who am I to say


D MajorD         B minorBm
I am what I am and I am strong
    G+G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
D MajorD         B minorBm
I am what I am and I am belong
    G+G
Cause I got my land and I got my song

    D MajorD             B minorBm    G+G
Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull
     D MajorD                  B minorBm        G+G
Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools
     D MajorD                B minorBm      G+G
I guess it boils down to how you see it, do you see Kimberly,
    D MajorD                    B minorBm     G+G
Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity?


E minorEm      G+G
Where do i stand?
     B minorBm         A augmentedA
Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the
 E minorEm       G+G
sand. It's all gray.
     B minorBm          A augmentedA      E minorEm
There are no black and whites so who am I to say

    G+G
You are wrong
    B minorBm        A augmentedA       E minorEm
but you never know what you got until its gone
    G+G
And one day
   B minorBm             A augmentedA        G+G
the little people will ask what you did and what we said


D MajorD         B minorBm
I am what I am and I am strong
    G+G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
D MajorD         B minorBm
I am what I am and I am belong
    G+G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
D MajorD         B minorBm
I am what I am and I am strong
    G+G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
D MajorD         B minorBm
I am what I am and I am belong
    G+G
Cause I got my land and I got my song
