Intro: CAmDmGCC
A’not a broke horse on the place,
FDm
My pickup truck won’t go,
CDmG
The tractor lost a wheel about a week ago,
C
The wind is from the east,
CFDm
Blowing hard across the plains,
CAmDmGC
I’m high and lonesome waiting for a change.
(Chorus)
CF
Just give me one broke horse with a good fittin’ saddle,
C
That’s easy on your back,
F
One good woman who makes up the difference,
C
For everything I lack,
AmG
One last chance to sell my calves,
CF
Before the prices go to hell again,
CAmDmGC
Clear blue skies…eighteen inches of rain.
C
The coffee’s kinda bitter,
FDm
is the water or the pot?
C Until I get to town,
DmG
I’ll make do with what I got,
C
The Copenhagen's runnin' low
FDm
I should quit it anyway’s,
CAm
Me and this old outfit,
DmGC
Have both seen better days.
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
CAm
Just give me clear blue skies,
DmGC
eighteen inches of rain.
CAm
Just give me clear blue skies,
DmGC
eighteen inches of rain.
