Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Please remove my previous version and replace it with this one. Some chords were wrong (it's Am7 instead of Em[2] and F instead of Dm[2]). I have also corrected the part, where he sings "My cattle bears it all away...".
Capo 2nd fret (all chords relative to capo) (1x) = 1 half of a measure (2x) = 2 halfs of a measure .
Em 022000 Am7 X02213 Am X02210 C X32010 C/B X22010 Dm XX0231 F XX3211
in the first part of the song he sometimes plays hammer-ons with some of the chord-notes: 000000 Em 022000
X00000 Am X02210 (listen to the song for the rhythm) __________________________________________
The real people went away
EmAm But I'll find a better word, someday Em Leaving only me and my dreams Am (5x) Am7 (3x) Em My cattle....... and a resonator I drove all the beast down right under your nose The lumbering footloose power Am (5x) The bull and the rose Am7 (3x) Em Don't touch them don't try to hurt them Am (5x) Am7 (3x) Em My cattle....................ts ts
CAmCAm I drove them by the crops and thought the crops were lost CAmEm I consoled myself with rudimentary thoughts CAmCAm And I set my watch against the city clock Em It was way off
||: GCC/BAmC Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country G It takes a strong, strong CC/BAmC It breaks a strong, strong mind :||
GC And anything less, anything less C/BAmC Makes me feel like I'm wasting my time
EmAmEmAm But the pain and frustration, is not mine EmAmEm It belongs to the cattle, through the valley
Dm (or D5 etc.) And when my cattle turns on me AmEm I was knocked back flat DmAmEm I was knocked out cold for one clack of the train track DmAmEm Then I rose a colossal hand buried, buried in sand
AmEm I rose like a drover AmEm For I am in the end a drover AmEm A drover by trade AmEm When my cattle turns on me AmEmAm (4x) Am7 (4x) I am a drover, double fold
Am7 My cattle bears it all away for me and everyone one, one, one,
F one, one, one, one,
Am7 one, one, one, one,
FAmF one, one, one, one. Yo!
(as above) GCC/BAmC Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country G It takes a strong, strong CC/BAmC It breaks a strong, strong mind
GC And anything less, anything less C/BAmCEm Makes me feel like I'm wasting my time
