[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am His mother was a snake G His father was a scarecrow Am Born in the desert with his hat on his head
Never missed a shot
G Sharp as a Pharaoh Am Tequila in the sunrise
The desert was his bed
Now he could dance the barn dance
E Like nobody before him Am But no woman would take him
'Cos his eyes were rather strange
G In them you could see the emptiness of the desert Am Yellow like a scarecrow
Black like a snake
[Chorus]
Am G He was a voodoo cowboy Am And he had never found a girl to call his own G Am Uh on and on and on
That lonely cowboy
G C D But a cowboy's never really E Am Cowboy's never really alone
(whistling)
Really alooone
[Verse 2]
Am
He had a horseWhose name was Plenty
And they saw things no man or beast should ever see
Out in the redness
Out in the empty
G Am D Where ghost and spirits walk around like you and me-e-e Am He met a girl
Called Annabelle
G Am And she was just the prettiest thing he'd ever seen
Under a lake at the edge of the world
He met a girl
Walking through the edges of his dreams
[Chorus 2]
Am G (Because you see,) He was a voodoo cowboy Am G And he was following a psychedelic stream Am On and on and on
That lonely cowboy
G C But a cowboy's never really E Am Cowboy's never really deceived A Am really deceived
[Verse 3]
A5 Am So they rode down
Under the water
And the sunset made a fire above his head
In search of warmth in search of love
In search of heaven above
But all he felt was cold
And all he touched was wet
But he could see her down a little bit deeper
And all he wanted was to hold her to his chest
So he reached down and she reached up
And he touched her
G And she drew him in Am G Am And kissed him as he breathed his final breath Em Because you see
[Chorus 3]
Am He was a voodoo cowboy G Am And he had finally found a girl to call his own G Am On and on and on
Lucky lucky cowboy
G C Because cowboy's almost always Em Am C Cowboys almost always die alone Am Dieeeeeya aloooooneee
