Title: Egyptian Cowboy
A
A7Strange raves on a Detroit bridge
A7I was reaching for the rhythm but it's out of reach
A7She was talking to the Buick
A7She was cutting the tequila with bleach
A7And she said to me
There's Dmno such thing as an EgFyptian cowboy
Your pAretty haircut can't hCelp you now, boy
ThDmere's nothing we can do forC you unless you're willing to kiA7ll
A7Hey, come on and kill.
(In the next part, A7 is strummed sporadically, with the spoken word parts sometimes inbetween)
A7I think this city could have used a woman's touch
A7As I'm wading through the toxic waste and such
A7Cuz everybody here said I won't amount to much
A7Everybody here said I won't amount to much
A7When I go from point A to point B I want thrills and
A7Chills and blood to spill
But there's nDmever any people on theF people mover -
Public trAansit equivalent of HCerbert Hoover
You're nDmever gonna get anywFhere because you're standing sAtill
AStanding still!
EbThese songs don't wCmrite themselves
I've gAbot a music workshop rFun by elves
Making dEbozens of records bCmy the twelves
AbStocking our product on IkFea shelves
EbLet me state
CmMy state of mind, Abmind, mind
Is just fiC#ne.
(Again: In the next part, A7 is strummed sporadically, with the spoken word parts sometimes inbetween)
A7Baby, that's the sound of the years going by
A7You can find me on the same bar stool just waiting to die.
A7Three cheers to me, here's mud in your eye.
A7I said, "Cheers to me, here's mud in your eye"
A7She came to close out my tab, so I was troubled and she took a stab
A7And she said to me
There's Dmno such thing as an elFectric tuba
The DetAroit River's not a gCmood place to scuba
The oDmnly reason you're here todFay is cuz we need you to kiAll
Yeah, kill!
EbMy songs are tCmasty pies,
AbFresh oven-baked and fiFlled with lies
Gobbled Ebup by the dozen byCm Neanderthal guys
AbInhaling the aroma of CaFnadian lies
EbOh my, wCmhy you got quitAbe a lot C#of problems, don't you?
(Again: In the next part, A7 is strummed sporadically, with the spoken word parts sometimes inbetween)
A7Shake that tambourine!
A7Shake that shaker machine!
A7Shake it, low.
A7Shake it, high.
A7Shake it.
A7Shake it.
