Cowboy Romance chords by Natalie Merchant

Intro:
A A D A

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

in a crude saloon
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

sees his love anew
D           A
in the morning light so true
Bm         D
and he gets on the move
    A
On the move
