Leaving only me and my dreams
    Am(5x) (x02210@1)  Em[2] (3x)    EmMy (022000@1)cattle.......   and a resonator
I drove all the beast down right under your nose
The lumbering footloose power

C (x32010@1)          Am (x02210@1)            Em (022000@1) I consoled myself with rudimentary thoughts
C (x32010@1)            Am (x02210@1)           C (x32010@1)                Am (x02210@1) And I set my watch            against the city clock

Em (022000@1)                 Am (x02210@1)   Em (022000@1)  It belongs to the cattle,   through the valley

Dm (or D5 etc.)
   And when my cattle turns on me
      Am (x02210@1)         EmI (022000@1)was knocked back flat
Dm (xx0231@1)                          Am (x02210@1)     Em (022000@1)  I was knocked out cold for one clack of the train track

Am (x02210@1)             Em (022000@1)  I rose like a drover
Am (x02210@1)                     Em (022000@1)  For I am in the end a drover
Am (x02210@1)           Em (022000@1)  A drover by trade
Am (x02210@1)              Em (022000@1)        
   When my cattle turns on me
Am (x02210@1)           Em (022000@1)     Am(4X) (x02210@1)Em[2] (4x) 
  I am a drover, double fold

My cattle bears it all away for me and everyone
