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.
