X00000 Am X02210 (listen to the song for the rhythm) __________________________________________ 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
