__________________________________________
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
