Voodoo Cowboy

Am Am His mother was a snake G His father was a scarecrow Am Born in the desert with his hat on his head Never missed a shot G Sharp as a Pharaoh Am Tequila in the sunrise The desert was his bed Now he could dance the barn dance E Like nobody before him Am But no woman would take him 'Cos his eyes were rather strange G In them you could see the emptiness of the desert Am Yellow like a scarecrow Black like a snake Am G He was a voodoo cowboy Am And he had never found a girl to call his own G Am Uh on and on and on That lonely cowboy G C D But a cowboy's never really E Am Cowboy's never really alone (whistling) Really alooone Am He had a horse Whose name was Plenty And they saw things no man or beast should ever see Out in the redness Out in the empty G Am D Where ghost and spirits walk around like you and me-e-e Am He met a girl Called Annabelle G Am And she was just the prettiest thing he'd ever seen Under a lake at the edge of the world He met a girl Walking through the edges of his dreams Am G (Because you see,) He was a voodoo cowboy Am G And he was following a psychedelic stream Am On and on and on That lonely cowboy G C But a cowboy's never really E Am Cowboy's never really deceived A Am really deceived A5 Am So they rode down Under the water And the sunset made a fire above his head In search of warmth in search of love In search of heaven above But all he felt was cold And all he touched was wet But he could see her down a little bit deeper And all he wanted was to hold her to his chest So he reached down and she reached up And he touched her G And she drew him in Am G Am And kissed him as he breathed his final breath Em Because you see Am He was a voodoo cowboy G Am And he had finally found a girl to call his own G Am On and on and on Lucky lucky cowboy G C Because cowboy's almost always Em Am C Cowboys almost always die alone Am Dieeeeeya aloooooneee
