Parrot Goat And Rooster

Bm      C#      D#

[Verse]
G#                              
My parrot, my goat and my rooster, 
Bm
the finest of pets that you’ll find.
C#              D#              
With them I bring joy wherever I go 
Fm
and make some to make things go 
round.
Bm              C#              
To New Mexico and Arkansas and even 
D#
to Illinois’ shores.

[Verse]
Bm              C#              
I sell off my kids to the highest 
D#
bid and then I return home for more.
G#                              
I grew up to thrive among horses, 
Bm
and I do not deny I was poor.

C#              D#              
Now my name is known throughout the 
Fm
plains and among the gueros in the 
north.
Bm              C#              
Death rides ever by my side and the 
D#
high lords far behind,
Bm              C#              
for where there’s will there’ll be a
D#
 way and my ways are hard to find.

[Verse]
G#                              
Money’s a treacherous companion, and
Bm
 that’s why I spend mine with ease.
C#              D#              
On women and friends, to smoothen 
Fm
the bends, I keep just the little I 
need.
Bm              C#              
They say that my pets bring but pain
D#
 and regrets, and then they ask me 
to pass them a booster,
Bm              C#              
it is the greatest of men who come 
D#
again and again to my parrot, my 
goat and my rooster.
