Voodoo Cowboy(Chords)

	        Am 
His mother was a snake 
    Am 
His father was a scarecrow 
Am                          C 
Born in the desert with his hat on his head 
Am 
Never missed a shot 
Am 
Sharp as a pharaoh 
  Am 
Tequila in the sunrise 
     C 
The desert was his bed 
    Am 
Now he could dance the barn dance 
    Am 
Like nobody before him 
    Am 
But no woman would take him 
        C 
Cos his eyes were rather strange 
Am                             Am 
In them you could see the emptiness of the desert 
Am 
Yellow like a scarecrow 
C 
Black like a snake 

         Am       Am 
He was a voodoo cowboy 
         Am                                C 
And he had never found a girl to call his own 
              Am 
On and on and on 
              Am 
That lonely cowboy 
       C 
But a cowboy's never really 
 E                           Am 
Cowboy's never really alone 

         Am 
He had a horse 
               Am 
Whose name was Plenty 
             Am                               C 
And they saw things no man or beast has ever seen 
           Am 
Out in the redness 
           Am 
Out in the empty 
                 Am                               C 
Where ghosts and spirits walk around like you and me 

         Am 
He met a girl 
           Am 
Called Annabelle 
            Am                                 C 
And she was just the prettiest thing he'd ever seen 
        Am                       Am 
Under a lake at the edge of the world 

He met a girl 
Am                               C 
Walking through the edges of his dreams 

         Am       Am 
He was a voodoo cowboy 
         Am                         C 
And he was following a psychedelic stream 
              Am 
On and on and on 
              Am 
That lonely cowboy 
       C 
But a cowboy's never really 
E                              Am 
Cowboy's never really deceived 

           Am 
So he rode down 
          Am 
Under the water 
        Am                            C 
And the sunset made a fire above his head 
             Am 
In search of warmth in search of love 
             Am 
In search of heaven above 
    Am 
But all he felt was cold 
    C 
And all he touched was wet 
    Am                        Am 
But he could see her down a little bit deeper 
    Am                                   C 
And all he wanted was to hold her to his chest 
      Am 
So he reached out and she reached out 
       Am 
And he touched her and she drew him in 
     Am                                  C 
And kissed him as he breathed his final breath 

         Am .    Am 
He was a voodoo cowboy 
           Am                               C 
And he had finally found a girl to call his own 
              Am 
On and on and on 
             Am 
Lucky lucky cowboy 
          C 
Because cowboys almost always 
E 
Cowboys almost always die alone
