Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York) is an American alternative rock singer-songwriter. After rising to fame at the helm of the popular folk-rock band 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant enjoyed even greater success as a solo artist during the mid-'90s. Her literate, socially conscious songs established her among the preeminent women in pop music, while her solo debut -- 1995's Tigerlily -- helped pave the way for a number of female performers in a pre-Lilith Fair market.

DA It's a Saturday afternoon romance BmD between a cowboy and a fool A And a fool
A A drunken meet up
in a crude saloon DA A poor rocky mountain town D He's a scoundrel and A She's no pearl BmDA And together they are two lovers cruel
A Got her balanced on his knee DA He knows exactly what to say D "You ain't been born A 'til you get out of town BmD and honey, you might come with me" A might come with me"
E If you do DA If you do Bm If you do D And if you do E I'll spare the innocent ones DA and take you with me BmDA And together we will be drifters free"
A Got her tangled in his arms DA she's a lusting, trusting fool D "No man born can rule me A that I've sworn BmD but stranger if you do, A I'll belong to you"
E If you do DA If you do Bm If you do D And if you do E "Would you spare the innocent ones DA Would you take me with you? BmD Can you love the land A and love me too?"
A As he grows sober
sees his love anew DA in the morning light so true BmD and he gets on the move A On the move
