Chords with lyrics

Bill Callahan - Drover

Capo 2nd fret

The real people went away

E minorEm                A minorAm
But I'll find a better word, someday
            E minorEm
Leaving only me and my dreams
  A minorAm         E minorEm
My cattle and a resonator
E minorEm
I drove all the beast down right under your nose
The lumbering footloose power
          A minorAm
The bull and the rose
    E minorEm
Don't touch them don't try to hurt them
   A minorAm         E minorEm
My cattle..............
C majorC          A minorAm    C majorC               A minorAm
I drove them by the crops     and thought the crops were lost
C majorC     A minorAm        E minorEm
I consoled myself with rudimentary thoughts
C majorC      A minorAm      C majorC           A minorAm
And I set my watch      against the city clock
    E minorEm
It was way off

G+G             C majorC     A minorAm    C majorC
Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G+G
It takes a strong, strong
  C majorC            A minorAm    C majorC
It breaks a strong, strong mind
G+G             C majorC     A minorAm    C majorC
Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G+G
It takes a strong, strong
C majorC              A minorAm    C majorC
It breaks a strong, strong mind
G+G
And anything less, anything less
C majorC           A minorAm        C majorC
Makes me feel like I'm wasting my time

E minorEm          A minorAm   E minorEm    A minorAm
But the pain and frustration, is not mine
E minorEm         A minorAm         E minorEm
It belongs to the cattle, through the valley

DmDm
And when my cattle turns on me
     A minorAm     E minorEm
I was knocked back flat
DmDm               A minorAm      E minorEm
I was knocked out cold for one clack of the train track
DmDm             A minorAm        E minorEm
Then I rose a colossal hand buried, buried in sand
A minorAm       E minorEm
I rose like a drover
A minorAm          E minorEm
For I am in the end a drover
A minorAm       E minorEm
A augmentedA drover by trade
A minorAm         E minorEm    A minorAm
When my cattle turns on me
    E minorEm      A minorAm
I am a drover, double fold
A minorAm
My cattle bears it all away for me and everyone
A minorAm
One, one, one, one, one, one ...

G+G             C majorC     A minorAm    C majorC
Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G+G
It takes a strong, strong
  C majorC            A minorAm    C majorC
It breaks a strong, strong mind
G+G             C majorC     A minorAm    C majorC
Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G+G
It takes a strong, strong
C majorC              A minorAm    C majorC
It breaks a strong, strong mind
G+G
And anything less, anything less
C majorC           A minorAm        C majorC
Makes me feel like I'm wasting my time
