Lucy Kaplansky - Cowboy Singer


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: C majorC G+G C majorC

           FF      C majorC
Seventeen years she's been in this world
               G+G
Wide-eyed and wistful, pretty little Mormon girl
  C majorC               FF       C majorC
She don't know I'm wicked, and she don't know I'm old
                G+G     C majorC
Sweet Jesus forgive me, but she gets in my soul

   FF              G+G   C majorC
She believes in the future and the family tree
    FF        C majorC        D MajorD      G+G
And she thinks there's a little spark of good left in me
    C majorC              FF      C majorC
And she comes to my door, 'cause she thinks I can bring her
            G+G   C majorC
The glamorous life of a cowboy singer


             FF      C majorC
I rise from my bed to her hand at the bell
               G+G
I look like the devil and I'm feeling like hell
    C majorC               FF       C majorC
But she don't seem to notice, she just steps right inside
               G+G      C majorC
For to sing me the song, she made up last night


    FF             G+G      C majorC
And her voice is shining with the moon and the stars
    FF     C majorC        D MajorD     G+G
And she plays so unspoiled on that two-bit guitar
     C majorC             FF      C majorC
Singing, "Love" and "Tomorrow" and "Thank The Redeemer"
               G+G   C majorC      G+G C majorC
And I doom and anoint her a 'Cowboy Singer'


             FF     C majorC
Alone in my room when she leaves me again
               G+G
I stare at the wall and feel death closing in
   C majorC            FF      C majorC
But I like to imagine, I will meet her one day
               G7G7      C majorC
In a land at the end of this lonesome highway


   FF              G+G       C majorC
In a fine high country, where the best songs are sung
    FF      C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
And the labels don't care if you're old or you're young
    C majorC              FF      C majorC
And the Martins are cheaper, and the pastures are greener
             G+G   C majorC
And all of the angels are cowboy singers
             G+G      C majorC
