Cowgirl In The Sand - Neil Young  


Am                   F
Hello cowgirl in the sand

Am                    F
Is this place at your command

C     G          Fmaj7     G
Can I stay here  for      awhile

C     G        Fmaj7         G
Can I see your sweet  sweet  smile


          Dm    Em          C           F
chorus:   Old enough now to change your name

               Dm      Em          C      F
          When so many love you is it the same

                   Dm            
          It's the woman in you that makes you want to

          C         F
          play this game

(play the following run)

|-/5--3----------------
|-------5--3-----------       
|-------------5--2-----   /C  C  G/   A  / Am /  F  / .....
|---------------------
|----------------------
|----------------------

(/ / = one measure of 4 counts)


Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band begun to rust
After all the sin we've had
I was hoping that we'd turn bad

Hello woman of my dreams
Is this not the way it seems
Purple words on a gray background
To be a woman and to be turned down

-----------------------------------------------------------

Acoustically, I play it with the following chords(so I have
half a chance to be able to sing it :-) ) :

verse:  Em        C
        Em        C
        G      D    Cmaj7/G   D
        G      D    Cmaj7/G   D

chorus: Am   Bm     G  C   
        Am   Bm     G  C
        Am   G      C

(play the following run)
|-0----------------
|---3--0-----------
|--------2--0------   / G  G  (D/F#) / E / Em / C /....
|-------------2----
|------------------
|------------------

D/F#  = 200232
Cmaj7/G = 332000

When I play the C during the verses I hammer on the G string 2nd fret
with my middle finger occasionally.
