The Range War

C F D

[Verse 1]
          G                     Em              C      G
Your Daddy runs sheep and my uncle runs cattle
Bm7                Em7      Dm7          C          G
Nothin' can keep us out of this battle they wage
           C                 G
As it burns up the range, 'til no man is left
                       C D
In the saddle

[Verse 2]
      G                   Em                         C      G
Your ranch is upstream and they dammed up the water
Bm7                Em7               Dm7        C
Thirsty cows scream for my uncle to slaughter
     G                              C     G
The sheep while yore Daddy's asleep
                                    C D    G C Am G
And I do the same for his daughter

[Bridge]
      F                    Em7             D
If I had my own way, we would be together
              G
Back in Pittsburgh
             Bm7         Em            C      G
It's the only town east of the river I know
          Em7          A7                  D
And I feel kinda bad, bringin' our grief
                                G
Upon this pore old farmer's house
              C               F       Am     D
But we ain't got nowhere else to go

[Verse 3]
          G                      Em                     C      G
Three years on this range since they started the range war
Bm7               Em7           Dm7             C       G
Nothing has changed except maybe change for the worst
          C                 G
If I'd married you first,
G
There might not have been any range war
G
You wouldn't be lost to the range war
