Walk Throught the Bottomland - Lyle Lovett

C          F      G         C
A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
F         Em     G7
And she was a lady I say
C         F          G         C
But she met a cowboy who rode on a rodeo
F            G             C
And he stole her heart straight away

C          F        G            C
The New Jersey lady she loved him so true
F          Em        G7
Another love she never had
C           F            G           C
But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
F             G         C
And they make the ladies so sad

F         C
Chorus:		Sing me a melody
F         C
Sing me a blues
F                C          G          C
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
F                C
The Brazos she's running scared
F             C
She heard the news
F                C          G          C
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes


C          F         G            C
The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too
F        Em            G7
And you know she tried to hold on
C     F            G            C
But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
F           G         C
He had to keep drifting along

C         F           G         C
She never married and she never would
F          Em            G7
And all of the people they'd say
C          F        G             C
The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good
F        G           C
To follow a cowboy that way


Chorus

F          C           G            C
The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night
F      Em           G
And in the morning he'd go
F             C            G         C
She loved the darkness and hated the light
D                        G
Along with that damn rodeo

C          F        G           C
The New Jersey lady the day that he died
F           Em        G7
She covered him over with clay
C           F           G            C
And feeling the wind in the night as she cried
F             G          C
She heard the old cowboy say


Chorus
