Intro:  G 

    G                 C            G
I'm used to havin' my breakfast in bed 
                               C         G
Never have to lift a finger to butter my bread 
          C
I keep my baby satisfied if you know what I mean 
           G                           C        G
'Cause she told me I'm walkin' talkin' love machine 
        D 
Lord, I got the self assurance of a king on a throne 
          N.C.               
Cause she told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home 
       C7
   The cows came home 
       D7
   The cows came home 
     D7
   I heard somethin' mooin' 

   Turned around and she was gone 
   N.C.                   C         G
   Lord have mercy, the cows came home 
          G                        C           G
The whole herd showed up when they heard she'd gone 
                             C       G
But I guess it's better than bein' alone 
         C
Well the slammin' of the door is like a pie in the face 
      G                       C     G
But I got enough milk for the human race 
         D
I didn't have a clue that there was anything wrong 
           N.C.
'Cause she told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
C
I didn't see the writing on the wall 
D
Missed the invitation to the bovine ball 
C
I didn't hear no cowbells ringin' 
      D                               N.C.
Gonna have to face the music that the fat lady's singin' 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
N.C.                   C         G
Lord have mercy, the cows came home
