Brandi Carlile - Cowgirls


Verse 1:

   G+G
To be fair I should've told you
C majorC             D MajorD
Running from the money is what I do
    G+G
I don't believe in wealth and excess
        C majorC         Dadd4
And I have had debt the size of Texas
    G+G
But I, I didn't follow my dreams
               C majorC
To dump my money in your slot machine
      C/BC/B         Am7Am7
And you can take that to the bank
           D7D7
Tell the bank man the devil said thanks
G+G            G/F#
You know you can't get a drink in this town
E minorEm       C majorC
Without Sunday morning comin' down
G+G      G/F#     C majorC
And cashing in on the costume
   Dadd4
Yeah, get 'em while they last
  C majorC            Dadd4
The NRA can kiss my country ass


Chorus:

G+G               G/F#      E minorEm
Just because you got a little dust under your boots
         C majorC
Doesn't mean you walked a country mile
G+G     G/F#
You never hopped a train
     C majorC       Dadd4
And your back roads are going outta style
G+G       G/F#      E minorEm
Listen to the radio and sing along
      C majorC
You're not saying anything
G+G           G/F#
Well you never laid a railroad tie
  C majorC         C/BC/B
Or watched a lonesome cowboy die
  Am7Am7               D7D7
Or listened to the bells of freedom ring
  Am7Am7                 D7D7
And now that you're just spittin' in the wind
   C majorC        Dadd4       G+G
It's time for you to let them cowgirls in

Verse 2:

       G+G
You got your ten gallon hat
      C majorC             D MajorD
Yeah, your chewing cigars and you're smoking the fat
  G+G
Tattoos of naked ladies
          C majorC         Dadd4
You played the same video games in the 80's
G+G      G/F#
I hope your vintage guitar
E minorEm           C majorC
Will take you where the wild things are
G+G     G/F#         C majorC
I hope you find your true voice there
    Dadd4
And the ghost of who you are
G+G          G/F#      E minorEm
And if they're gonna call you an outlaw
   C majorC
Live fast and die young
G+G         G/F#      C majorC     Dadd4
Those songs have already been sung by better men


Chorus:

G+G               G/F#      E minorEm
Just because you got a little dust under your boots
         C majorC
Doesn't mean you walked a country mile
G+G     G/F#
You never hopped a train
     C majorC       Dadd4
And your back roads are going outta style
G+G       G/F#      E minorEm
Listen to the radio and sing along
      C majorC
You're not saying anything
G+G           G/F#
Well you never laid a railroad tie
  C majorC         C/BC/B
Or watched a lonesome cowboy die
  Am7Am7               D7D7
Or listened to the bells of freedom ring
  Am7Am7                 D7D7
And now that you're just spittin' in the wind
   C majorC        Dadd4       G+G  G/F#
It's time for you to let them cowgirls in


Outro:

Am7Am7                 D7D7
Now that you're just pissin' in the wind
   C majorC        D MajorD         G+G
It's time for you to let them cowgirls in
