Northern Cowboy

G                    D
He just rode in from Aberdeen
Am                    C
He's got money in his pockets
And blisters like you've never ever 
D
seen
G                             
Don't let him fool you with the 
  D
stories
G                       D
Of all the money he has made
Am                        
I've been looking along the 
             C
north-east coastline
And those cowboys have already dug 
    D
its grave

[Chorus]
G (strike)                 D
Look here comes a northern cowboy
G                    D
He just rode in from Aberdeen
Am                    C
He's got money in his pockets
And blisters like you've never ever 
D
seen
G                             
Don't let him fool you with the 
  D
stories
G                       D
Of all the money he has made
Am                        
I've been looking along the 
             C
north-east coastline
And those cowboys have already dug 
    D
its grave

[Verse]
G                             D
There was a time when we were happy
G                                 
With the simple pleasures that we 
D
knew
Am                          C
And then one day it started raining
                               D
And a very ugly storm began to brew
Continúa después del anuncio
G                        D
It wasn't long before we noticed
G                                 
That the people had a fever in 
   D
their eyes
Am                            
They were taking all the things 
              C
they'd been preserving
And going out and throwing them up 
         D
into the skies

[Chorus]
G (strike)                 D
Look here comes a northern cowboy
G                    D
He just rode in from Aberdeen
Am                    C
He's got money in his pockets
And blisters like you've never ever 
D
seen
G                             
Don't let him fool you with the 
  D
stories
G                       D
Of all the money he has made
Am                        
I've been looking along the 
             C
north-east coastline
And those cowboys have already dug 
    D
its grave

[Verse]
G                      D
Once the money started moving
G                             D
The fever spread from door to door
Am                            
And all the young girls started 
  C
selling
                              D
Something they had never sold before
G                         D
The people spun around in circles
G                          D
Confusion cluttering their minds
Am                                
Their lives were being drawn from 
C
them
By bastards of a hundred different 
D
kinds

[Chorus]
G (strike)                 D
Look here comes a northern cowboy
G                    D
He just rode in from Aberdeen
Am                    C
He's got money in his pockets
And blisters like you've never ever 
D
seen
G                             
Don't let him fool you with the 
  D
stories
G                       D
Of all the money he has made
Am                        
I've been looking along the 
             C
north-east coastline
And those cowboys have already dug 
    D
its grave

[Verse]
G                       D
So come all ye northern cowboys
G                           D
Get back down here upon the farm
Am                         C
Leave the salt wind to the sailors
                           D
Leave the North Sea to the storm
G                         D
And one day when it's all over
G                                 
And you're hanging up your saddles
          D
 and your guns
Am                                
You'll look around this 
  C
oil-stained country
And you'll wish to Christ it never 
    D
had begun
