__________________________________________

The real people went away

Am
    But I'll find a better word, someday
                        Em
Leaving only me and my dreams
    Em
My cattle.......   and a resonator
I drove all the beast down right under your nose
The lumbering footloose power
                 Am (5x)
The bull and the rose
                 Em
Don't touch them      don't try to hurt them
     Em
My cattle....................ts ts


Am
  I drove them by the crops      and thought the crops were lost
Em
  I consoled myself with rudimentary thoughts
Am
  And I set my watch            against the city clock
       Em
It was way off


||:
C
  Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G
  It takes a strong, strong
C
It breaks a strong, strong mind		:||

C
  And anything less, anything less
	    C
Makes me feel like I'm    wasting my time


Am
   But the pain and frustration,   is not mine
Em
   It belongs to the cattle,   through the valley


Dm (or D5 etc.)
   And when my cattle turns on me
      Em
I was knocked back flat
Em
   I was knocked out cold for one clack of the train track
Em
   Then I rose a colossal hand buried, buried in sand


Em
   I rose like a drover
Em
   For I am in the end a drover
Em
   A drover by trade
Em
   When my cattle turns on me
Em[2] (4x)
  I am a drover, double fold

Em[2]
My cattle bears it all away for me and everyone
	       Am
One, one, one, one, one, one, one ...(another 8 times)


(as above)
C
  Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G
  It takes a strong, strong
C
It breaks a strong, strong mind

C
  And anything less, anything less
	 Em
Makes me feel like I'm    wasting my time
