Bill Callahan - Drover

Drover

Capo 2

                                  

The real people went away

Em But Ill find a better word, Am someday

Leaving only me and my Em dreams

My Am cattle and a Em resonator

Em I drove all the beast down right under your nose

The lumbering footloose power

The bull and the roseAm

Dont touch them dont try to Em hurt them

My Am cattle..............Em

C I drove them by the Am crops C and thought the crops were Am lost

C I consoled Am myself with Em rudimentary thoughts

C And I set Am my watch C against the city Am clock

It was Em way off

Yeah G one thing about this C wild, wild Am country C

G It takes a strong, strong

It C breaks a strong, strong Am mind C

G Yeah one thing about C this wild, wild Am country C

G It takes a strong, strong

C It breaks a strong, strong Am mind

G And anything less, anything less

C Makes me feel like Im Am wasting my C time

 

Em But the pain and Am frustration, Em is not Am mine

Em It belongs to the Am cattle, through the Em valley

 

Dm And when my cattle turns on me

I was Amknocked back Emflat

Dm I was knocked out cold for Am one clack Em of the train track

Dm Then I rose a colossal Am hand buried, Em buried in sand

Am I rose like Em a drover

Am For I am in the end Em a drover

Am A drover by Em trade

Am When my cattle Em turns on Am me

Em I am a drover, Em double fold

Am My cattle bears it all away for me and everyone

One, one, one, one, one, one ...

Yeah G one thing about this C wild, wild Am country C

G It takes a strong, strong

It C breaks a strong, strong Am mind C

G Yeah one thing about C this wild, wild Am country C

G It takes a strong, strong

C It breaks a strong, strong Am mind

G And anything less, anything less

C Makes me feel like Im Am wasting my C time
