Chords for Lyle Lovett - Ballad Of The Snow Leopard And The Tanqueray Cowboy - lyrics

[D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] Comfort me, [A] said [C] she, with your [G] conversation With the cocktails [Bb] and the [D] candlelight in
your eyes _ _ _ [A] It's funny how we hunger [C] for some [G] inspiration
And everything [Bb] else that money [D] just won't buy
_ [G] [Bm] Men have lied, [A] many good girls have [G] gone astray
Just to hear the [D] gypsy play one more [Em] lilting [A] cowboy tune
[Bb] _ [Bm] And as the rivers run [A] dry and the mountains [G] blow away
They sing of lovers and [D] how they lay Beneath [Em] this [A] crazy frontier moon
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] I [A] ain't no golden boy [C]
[D] And I ain't no [C] Grecian dancer
[G] And I ain't no [Bb] loudmouth cowboy [D] from the west
_ _ _ [A] I'm not the kind of man [C]
with [D] all the [G] answers
I surely [Bb] know the songs [D] that suit me best
[G] _ [Bm] But lately [A] I've had something [G] on my mind It's growing stronger [D] all the time
Calling [Em] out [A] when I'm alone [Bb] But [Bm] I'm a boy [A] and I'm bound to [G] walk the line
Between the real and [D] the sublime And give [Em] the music [A]
back what they're on
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] It's a [Db] penny for your [A] thoughts [C] It's a dollar for your [G] kisses
[Bm] I keep a [Bb] running [Gm] tab [D] on the time Because [G] _ [D] _ [A] what I've got the most of [C] us
Is what she misses [Bm] My clock is [Gm] hers, my [Bb] [D] hourglass is mine
[A] But [Bm] I'm a lover [A] and not a man bent [G] on revenge Hanging out here [D] along the fence
Of my [Em] native [A]
borderlands [Bb] I [Bm] count the days the [A] sun shone golden [G] across her head
Lying on the banks of the [D] Bios edge Kicking up some [Em] [A] southeast Texas _ [G] sand
_ _ _ [D] _
[A] Comfort me, said [C] she, with your [G] conversation With the cocktails [Bb] and the [D] candlelight in your eyes
_ _ [D] _
[A] It's funny how we hunger [C] for [G] some inspiration And everything [Bb] else that money [D] just won't buy
_ _ [C]
And everything [Bm] else that [Bb] money [D] just won't buy And [C]
everything [G] else that [Bm] money [Bb] just won't
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
