Tom T. Hall - Faster Horses, аккорды

G
  
He was an old-time cowboy don't you understand 
      
His eyes were sharp as razor blades his face was leather-tanned 
     
C
                                  
G
  
His toes were pointed inwards from a-hanging on a horse 
               
D7
               
G
  
He was an old philosopher of course 
 
He was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whip 
He had to drink the beer to keep his breeches on his hips 
   
C
                                 
G
  
I knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of life 
                     
D7
             
G
  
He spit between his boots and he replied 
                     
C

He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains 
He said it don't do man no good to pray for peace and rain 
 
C
                                     
G
  
Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity 
                      
D7
                
G
  
And buffalo chips is all it means to me 
 
I told him I was a poet I was looking for the truth 
I do not care for horses whiskey women or other loot 
   
C
                                 
G
  
I said I was a writer my soul was all on fire 
                     
D7
                  
G
  
He looked at me and he said you are a liar  
                     
C
                
D7

Well I was disillusioned if I say the least 
I grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feet 
       
C
                              
G
  
There was something cold and shiny laying in my head 
                   
D7
                    
G
  
So I started to believe the things he said 
 
Well my poet days are over and I'm back to being me 
As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality 
    
C
                                
G
  
If my boy ever asks me what it is that I have learned 
                
D7
              
G
  
I think that I will readily affirm 
 
                         
C
                
D7
