Drover Chords by Bill Callahan

The real people _ went away
_ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
I'll find a better way
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
Someday _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Leaving only me _ _
_ _ [F#m] And my _ dreams _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] Like cattle _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ An _ _ _ _ [F#m] avid invader
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ drove all the beasts down
Right under your nose
The _ lumbering _ footloose _
_ Powerful and the [Bm]
rose _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Don't touch them _ _ _ _ _
Don't try [F#m] to hurt them _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Like [Bm] cattle
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ drove them by [Bm] the cross
_ And [D] _ _ _
_ _ thought the [Bm] cross was lost
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ I [Bm] consoled myself
_ With [F#m] _ _
rudimentary thoughts _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ And I [Bm] set my watch
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ Against [Bm] the city clock
_ _ [F#m] It was way off
_ Yet _ _ _ _ [A] _
one thing about [D] this _
Wild, _ [Bm] wild country
_ [D] Takes _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ a strong, [D] strong
It breaks a strong, _ [Bm] strong Pine
_ Yet [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _
one thing about [D] this _
Wild, _ [Bm] wild country
_ _ [D] Takes _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ a strong, [D] strong
It breaks a strong, [Bm] strong Pine
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Anything less, [D] anything less
Makes me feel like _ [Bm] I'm
_ _ Wasting [D] my _ time _ _ _ _
_ [G] Pain and frustration
_ Is _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ not [Bm] mine
_ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [F#] It belongs [Bm] to the cattle _ _
Through [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
the valley _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ When my cattle [F#] _ turns on me
I was knocked _ back [F#m] _ flat _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
I was knocked out _ cold
[Bm] For one clack of the train [F#m] track
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ Then I rose a colossal [Bm] hand
Buried, _ buried in [F#m] sand
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
I rose [F#m] like a drover
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _
For I am the [F#m] master _ drover
A [Bm] _ _
_ _ drover [F#m] by a tree
_ _ _ [Bm] _
When my cattle _ [F#m] turns on me
_ [Bm] _
I'm _ a [F#m] drover _ _ double [Bm]-mo
_ My _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ cattle bears it all away
For me and _ _ everyone
_ One, _ one, _ one, _ [Em] _
one, _ _ _ _ one
_ Yet [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _
one thing about this
[D] _ _
Wild, _ [Bm] wild country
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _
Takes a strong, [D] strong
It breaks a strong, _ [Bm] strong Pine
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _
Anything less, anything [D] less
Makes me feel like _ [Bm] I'm
_ Wasting [D] my time
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
