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