__________________________________________
The real people went away
Em Am
But I'll find a better word, someday
Em
Leaving only me and my dreams
Am Em
My cattle and a resonator
Em
I drove all the beast down right under your nose
The lumbering footloose power
Am
The bull and the rose
Em
Don't touch them don't try to hurt them
Am Em
My cattle..............
C Am C Am
I drove them by the crops and thought the crops were lost
C Am Em
I consoled myself with rudimentary thoughts
C Am C Am
And I set my watch against the city clock
Em
It was way off

G C Am C
Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G
It takes a strong, strong
C Am C
It breaks a strong, strong mind
G C Am C
Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G
It takes a strong, strong
C Am C
It breaks a strong, strong mind
G
And anything less, anything less
C Am C
Makes me feel like I'm wasting my time
Em Am Em Am
But the pain and frustration, is not mine
Em Am Em
It belongs to the cattle, through the valley
Dm
And when my cattle turns on me
Am Em
I was knocked back flat
Dm Am Em
I was knocked out cold for one clack of the train track
Dm Am Em
Then I rose a colossal hand buried, buried in sand
Am Em
I rose like a drover
Am Em
For I am in the end a drover
Am Em
A drover by trade
Am Em Am
When my cattle turns on me
Em Am
I am a drover, double fold
Am
My cattle bears it all away for me and everyone
Am
One, one, one, one, one, one ...
G C Am C
Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G
It takes a strong, strong
C Am C
It breaks a strong, strong mind
G C Am C
Yeah one thing about this wild, wild country
G
It takes a strong, strong
C Am C
It breaks a strong, strong mind
G
And anything less, anything less
C Am C
Makes me feel like I'm wasting my time
