Corb Lund – Cows Around (Guitar)

C                              E7
Everything is better with some cows around

Am                       D7
Living in town sometimes brings me down

          C                                        A7
Let me bestow this western blessing and share what I have found

        Dm          G7    C
May you always have cows around

C                                    D
What else you gonna spend that extra money on

                              G
What else is gonna get you up hours before dawn

                                    C             F#7

May you always have cows around

G                                       D
Come on, you know that you got too much time on your hands

                                   G
And not nearly enough complication in your plans

                                  C                F#7
You need to invite all of the frustration that you can

May you always have cows around

C                              E7

Living in town sometimes brings me down

          C                                       A7

May you always have cows around

C                                          D
What else could make a bishop swear like a sailor might

                                             G
What else could cause such tension between a man and his wife

                                       C                  F#7
What else could ever bring all these enhancements to your life

        G           D7    G
May you always have cows around

G                                        D
What else is gonna get out when you don't close the gate

                                        G
What else is gonna make you prematurely show your age

                                      C             F#7
What else will take a run at you in a fit of bovine rage

        G           D7    G
May you always have cows around

C                              E7

Living in town sometimes brings me down

          C                                   A7

           G                            C
You have a badly flawed and sentimental masochistic-ness
