Forget your nephews and your cousins 

                           Bb             
And your brothers and your sisters

We'll talk to the cows

    E            A                         
And laugh at the sheep

We'll lie in a field

  Seems an eternity away (ooo ooo ooo)

And all the debt collectors, rent collectors

            Bb                             
All will be behind us

                  D7
