Drover Chords by Bill Callahan

_ The real people went away _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
I'll find a better _ way
_ _ _ _ [Bm]
Someday _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Leaving only me _ _ _ _ [F#m] and my dreams _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] my cattle _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And _ [F#m]
originated _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ drove all the beasts down right under your no _ _
lumbering _ _ footloose tower
_ Bull and the [Bm] road _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ No, touch them _ _ _ _
_ Don't [F#m] try to hurt them _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] my cattle _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] I _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ Drove them by [Bm] the cops
_ [D] And _ _ _ _ thought the cops were lost.
I
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Consoled myself
_ _ But [F#m] through the men to race up _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ and I set [Bm] my watch
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ Against the [Bm] city clock _ it [F#m]
was way off _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Yet one thing about this
[D] _ _ wild wild
_ [Bm] _
country
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ Takes the strong [D]
strong.
It breaks a strong strong
[Bm] _
line
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _

Anything less anything [D]
less makes me feel like [Bm] I'm
_ _ _ [D] Wasting my _ time _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Frustration _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ is [Bm] not mine
_ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ [F#] It belongs [F#m] to the cattle _ _
_ _ _ _ _
through the valley _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [B] _ _ when my cattle
[F#] _ _ _ _

down
_ _ [Bm] For one black or a train [F#m]
track
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ the narrow _
_ _ [Bm] colossal hand
buried _ _ in [F#m]
sand
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ Rose like [F#m] a drover
_ _ _ [Bm] _
_ Where am I in the [F#m] end the drover?
_ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ over [F#m] by a tree
_ _ _ [Bm] _
When my cattle _ [F#m]
turns on me
