The Range War

C F D

[Verse 1]
          G                     Em
Your Daddy runs sheep and my uncle
              C      G
 runs cattle
Bm7                Em7      Dm7 
Nothin' can keep us out of this 
         C          G
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  
Your ranch is upstream and they 
                       C      G
dammed up the water
Bm7                Em7           
Thirsty cows scream for my uncle 
    Dm7        C
to slaughter

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

[Verse 3]
          G                      
Three years on this range since 
Em                     C      G
they started the range war
Bm7               Em7           
Nothing has changed except maybe
Dm7             C       G
 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
