John Gorka - Winter Cows
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:   D    G    Em  A  
The Dcows in the moo yard are Gmaking Emtheir Aplans
For the Glong winter Emnights and the Dcold winter Ahands
Some Dout in the Gfields, are Emcovered with Asnow
The Gblack ones turn Emwhite and the Dwhite ones don't Ashow
Big Dlumps in the Gsunset, beEmtween bovine Adreams
Their Gicicled Emudders are Dwaiting for Aspring
And Dup from the Groad, comes the Emsound of the Awheel
Just an Gold ice cream Emwagon, they say, "I Dknow how you Afeel"
DSome dream of GIndia, where their Emcousins are Astars
But they Gdon't like the Emcrowds, they Dstay where they Aare
And Dsome dream of GFlorida, of Emroaming the Abeach
With Gmetal deEmtectors for Dgold they can Areach
Well, Dwhat can you Gdo? It's the Emice or the Aflies
The Gtemperature Emslowing, the Dtails going Aby
It's a Ddairy exGistence, and EmI must conAclude
Cold Gmilk in a Embottle still Dbeats frozen Afood

John Gorka - Winter Cows

CAPO: 4th Fret

D G Em A

INTRO:

D G Em A

The cows in the moo yard are making their plans

G Em D A

For the long winter nights and the cold winter hands

D G Em A

Some out in the fields, are covered with snow

G Em D A

The black ones turn white and the white ones don't show

D G Em A

Big lumps in the sunset, between bovine dreams

G Em D A

Their icicled udders are waiting for spring

D G Em A

And up from the road, comes the sound of the wheel

G Em D A

Just an old ice cream wagon, they say, "I know how you feel"

D G Em A

Some dream of India, where their cousins are stars

G Em D A

But they don't like the crowds, they stay where they are

D G Em A

And some dream of Florida, of roaming the beach

G Em D A

With metal detectors for gold they can reach

D G Em A

Well, what can you do? It's the ice or the flies

G Em D A

The temperature slowing, the tails going by

D G Em A

It's a dairy existence, and I must conclude

G Em D A

Cold milk in a bottle still beats frozen food
