Voodoo Cowboy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
His [Am]mother was a snake
His father was a scarecrow
Born in the desert with his
hat on his head
Never missed a shot
Sharp as a Pharaoh
Tequila in the sunrise
The desert was his bed
Now he could dance the barn dance
Like nobody before him
But no woman would take him
Cos his eyes were rather strange
In them you could see the
emptiness of the desert
Yellow like a scarecrow
Black like a snake

[Verse 2]
He was [Am]a voodoo cowboy
[G]And he had [Am]never found
a girl to call [G]his own
On and on and [Am]on
That lonely cowboy
[G]But a cowboy[C]'s never rea[Am]lly
[E]Cowboy's never really alone
[Am]

[Verse 3]
He had a horse
Whose name was plenty
And they saw things no man
or beast has ever seen
Out in the redness
Out in the empty
Where ghost and spirits walk
around like you and me

[Verse 4]
He met a [Am]girl
Called Annabelle
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

[Verse 5]
He was a [Am]voodoo cowboy
[G]And he was [Am]following
[G]a psychedelic stream
[Am]On and on and on
That lonely cowboy
[G]But a cowboy[C]'s never really
[E]Cowboy's never rea[Am]lly deceived

[Verse 6]
[Am]
So [Dm]he rode d[Am]own
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 out and she reached out
And he touched her
And she drew him in
And kissed him as he breathed
his final breath
Because [E]you see He [Am]was a

[Verse 7]
voodoo cowboy
[G]And he [Am]had finally found
a girl to call his [G]own
[Am]On and on and on
Lucky lucky cowboy
[G]Becau[Am]se cowboy[C]'s almost always
[E]Cowboys alm[Am]ost always die alone
