Cowboy Junkies – A Horse In The Country (Guitar)

A
The money would be pretty good

     E
If a quart of milk were still a dollar

Bm                                        A
  Or even if a quart of milk were still a quart.

        D
And the hours, well, I don't mind

         A
How they creep on by like an old love of mine

     Bm                         E                      A
It’s the years that simply disappear that are doing me in.

D        E
 Guess I married too young,

      A                     D
Yeah, nineteen was just too young,

Bm
but sometimes you meet someone

         A
and your guts just burn.

D                              E
It's not that I don't love him anymore

               A                           D
It’s just that when I hear him coming through that front door

   Bm            E                       A
my heart doesn't race like it did once before.

D                            Dm               A
Mmmmmmm.......But I've got a horse out in the country.

     Bm             E        D             A
Ahhh yeah, I get to see him,  every second Sunday.

F#m             Bm
He comes when I call,

Dm                 A
yeah, he knows his name.

Bm            E
Some day I'll saddle up

        Bm             E    A    Amaj7  E
and the two of us will ride away.

A
This weather I could almost stand

       E
if the sun would shine a little brighter

Bm                                  A
  or even if the sun would shine at all.

D                  E                     A                 D
But lately it just seem to me that this life has lost its mystery

          Bm                         E                      A
and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder

Bm                      C#m
And all my friends have settled down

             Bm                      A
become their mothers and fathers without a sound.

           E
Except for Cathy,

             D                      E
she bought a one way [pause] subway ticket

            A
and left us all behind.

D                 Dm               A
...But I've got a horse out in the country.

     Bm             E        D            A
Ahhh yeah, I get to see him, every second Sunday.

F#m             Bm
He comes when I call,

Dm                 A
Yeah, he knows his name.

Bm            E
Some day I'll saddle up

        Bm             E    A   Amaj7     E
and the two of us will ride away.

A
This town wouldn't be so bad

     E
if a girl could trust her instincts

Bm           E                  A
or even if a girl could trust a boy.
