Drover Bill Callahan
Please remove my previous version and replace it with this one.
Some chords were wrong (it's Am7 instead of Em(2) and
F instead of Dm(2)).
I have also corrected the part, where he sings
"My cattle bears it all away...".
Thanks, Maceo

The real people went away
[Em] But I'll find a better word, some[Am]day
Leaving only me and my d[Em]reams
Am (5x) Am7 (3x) Em
My cattle....... and a resonator
I drove all the beast down right under your nose
The lumbering footloose power
Am (5x)
The bull and the rose
Am7 (3x) Em
Don't touch them don't try to hurt them
Am (5x) Am7 (3x) Em
My cattle....................ts ts
[C] I drove them by the [Am]crops [C] and thought the crops were [Am]lost
[C] I consoled [Am]myself with rudi[Em]mentary thoughts
[C] And I set my [Am]watch [C] against the city [Am]clock
It was [Em]way off
||:
[G] Yeah one thing about this [C]wild, [C/B]wild [Am]country[C]
[G] It takes a strong, strong
[C]It breaks a strong,[C/B] strong [Am]mind [C] :||
[G] And anything less, anything [C]less
Makes me fee[C/B]l like I'm [Am] wasting my [C]time
[Em] But the pain and frus[Am]tration,[Em] is not [Am]mine
[Em] It belongs to the [Am]cattle,[Em] through the valley
Dm (or D5 etc.)
And when my cattle turns on me
I was [Am]knocked back [Em]flat
[Dm] I was knocked out cold for [Am]one clack of the train [Em]track
[Dm] Then I rose a colossal hand [Am]buried, buried in [Em]sand
[Am] I rose like a [Em]drover
[Am] For I am in the end a [Em]drover
[Am] A drover by [Em]trade
[Am] When my cattle [Em]turns on me
Am Em Am (4x) Am7 (4x)
I am a drover, double fold
[Am7]My cattle bears it all away for me and everyone
one, one, one,
[F]one, one, one, one,
[Am7]one, one, one, one,
[F]one, one, one, one. [Am] Yo![F]
(as above)
[G] Yeah one thing about this [C]wild, [C/B]wild [Am]country[C]
[G] It takes a strong, strong
[C]It breaks a strong,[C/B] strong [Am]mind [C]
[G] And anything less, anything [C]less
Makes me [C/B]feel like I'm [Am] wasting my [C]time[Em]
