Cowboy Junkies - A Horse in the Country
Sorry, but tab 1 is close, but ultimately wrong...
Had to fix this awesome bit of Americana
A E Bm
A
The money would be pretty good
E
if a quart of milk were still a dollar
Bm A
Or even if a quart of milk were still a quart.
D
And the hours, well, I don't mind
A
how they creep on by like an old love of mine
Bm E A
it's the years that simply disappear that are doing me in.
D E
Guess I married too young,
A D
yeah, nineteen was just too young,
Bm
but sometimes you meet someone
A
and your guts just burn.
D E
It's not that I don't love him anymore
A D
it's just that when I hear him coming through that front door
Bm E A
my heart doesn't race like it did once before.
[Chorus]
D Dm A
Mmmmmmm.......But I've got a horse out in the country.
Bm E D A
Ahhh yeah, I get to see him, every second Sunday.
D Bm
He comes when I call,
Dm A
yeah, he knows his name.
Bm E
Some day I'll saddle up
Bm E A E Bm
and the two of us will ride away.
A
This weather I could almost stand
E
if the sun would shine a little brighter
Bm A
or even if the sun would shine at all.
D E A D
But lately it seems to me that this life has lost its mystery
Bm E A
and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit hard
Bm E
And all my friends have settled down
Bm A
become mothers and fathers without a sound.
E
Except for Cathy,
D E
she bought a one way [pause] subway ticket
A
and left us all behind.
[Chorus]
D Dm A
Mmmmmmm.......But I've got a horse out in the country.
Bm E D A
Ahhh yeah, I get to see him, every second Sunday.
D Bm
He comes when I call,
Dm A
yeah, he knows his name.
Bm E
Some day I'll saddle up
Bm E A E
and the two of us will ride away.
A
This town wouldn't be so bad
E
if a girl could trust her instincts
Bm E A
or even if a girl could trust a boy.
