The John Butler Trio
Listen to the song to get the strumming pattern - mostly the top strings first and then strumming
of the bottom strings.
Good Luck!

D Bm G Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly D Bm G Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free D Bm G But now theres fussing and theres fighting We all taking sides D Bm G While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide. You see D Bm G Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul D Bm G Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole D Bm G But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind D Bm G That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind D Bm G Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett D Bm G He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget D Bm G So he said "Mine mine mine, all for me" D Bm G It's great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free
(Heavier Strum - then pick it up)
D Bm G So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head G D Bm He said "I'm giving you all a choice now, you're either with me or your G dead D Bm G You know I got to have this kim, I cant get her off my mind D Bm G And I ain't gonna stop until she's mine, mine"

Em G Where do i stand? Bm A Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the Em G sand. It's all gray. Bm A G There are no black and whites so who am I to say
(Standard Strum)

D Bm G Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull D Bm G Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools D Bm G I guess it boils down to how you see it, do you see Kimberly, D Bm G Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity? Em G Where do i stand? Bm A Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the Em G sand. It's all gray. Bm A Em There are no black and whites so who am I to say G You are wrong Bm A Em but you never know what you got until its gone G And one day Bm A G the little people will ask what you did and what we said D Bm I am what I am and I am strong G Cause I got my land and I got my song D Bm I am what I am and I am belong G Cause I got my land and I got my song D Bm I am what I am and I am strong G Cause I got my land and I got my song D Bm I am what I am and I am belong G Cause I got my land and I got my song
