Natalie Merchant – Cowboy Romance (Guitar)

D                        A
It's a Saturday afternoon romance

Bm                     D
between a cowboy and a fool

      A
And a fool

A
A drunken meet up

D                     A
A poor rocky mountain town

D
He's a scoundrel and

A
She's no pearl

Bm                    D            A
And together they are two lovers cruel

A
Got her balanced on his knee

D                         A
He knows exactly what to say

D
"You ain't been born

           A
'til you get out of town

Bm                             D
and honey, you might come with me"

                A
might come with me"

       E
If you do

       D    A
If you do

       Bm
If you do

           D
And if you do

E
I'll spare the innocent ones

D                 A
and take you with me

Bm                   D            A
And together we will be drifters free"

A
Got her tangled in his arms

D                         A
she's a lusting, trusting fool

D
"No man born can rule me

A
that I've sworn

Bm                  D
but stranger if you do,

               A
I'll belong to you"

       E
If you do

       D    A
If you do

       Bm
If you do

           D
And if you do

E
"Would you spare the innocent ones

D                      A
Would you take me with you?

Bm                D
Can you love the land

            A
and love me too?"

A
As he grows sober

D                      A
in the morning light so true

Bm                 D
and he gets on the move

       A
On the move
