Capo 4

(G) (Am) (C) (D) (G)


(G) Hanging on the wall
Just like a (Am) thousand times you been there
a (C) picture of a (D) field of dande(G)lions
(G) and a young stud colt a-followin�
some ol� (Am) cowboy on a brood mare
(C) Bound to make it (D) home by dinner (G) time

There�s a thunder head a-comin
This rain would do this dusty dirt some good
but it ain�t a cowboy's weather
so he nudges his old faithful
and turns around to call out to the stud


Chorus:

(G) Come on (Am) Willie
There�s a (G) dark cloud comin� yonder
The (C) devil beats his (D) wife with a silver (G) chain
(G) Come on (Am) Willie
Boy, (G) can�t you hear the thunder
Your (C) ma and me don�t (D) travel well in (G) rain


It ain�t nothing much to look at
Just a print I got from grandma
A real west river cowgirl in her day
and sometimes I need religion
since the old girl�s gone before me
and that�s when I can hear the cowboy say

Chorus

And now the western feelin�
has become another side show
a-sellin� out the bygone days gone by
and we never know it�s rainin�
We can�t hear it for our thunder
We can�t see it for our clouds up in the sky


Chorus
Your (C) ma and me don�t (D) travel well in (C) rain (G)
