Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Look [D]here comes a northern cowboy
[G]He just rode in [D]from [Am]Aberdeen
He's got money in his [C]pockets
And blisters like you've
never ever [D]seen[G]
Don't let him fool [D]you with the [G]stories
Of [D]all [G]the money he has mad[D]e[Am]
I've been looking along
the north- [D]east [C]coastline
And those cowboys have
already dug its [D]grave

[Verse 2]
[D]Look here comes a northern cowboy
[G]He just rode in from Aberdeen
He's [D]got money in his pockets
And blisters like you've
never ever seen
Don't let him fool you with the stor[G]ies
Of all the money he has made
I've [D]been looking along
the north- east coastline
And those cowboys have
already dug [G]its grave

[Verse 3]
There was a [G]time when we [D]were [G]happy
With the simple pleasures
that [D]we [Am]knew
And then one day it started [C]raining
And a very ugly storm [Am]began to [D]brew[G]
It wasn't long [D]before we [G]noticed
That the people had a fever
in [D]their eyes
[Am]They were taking all the things
they'd been pre[C]serving
And going out and throwing them
up in[Am]to the skies
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Look here comes a northern [D]cowboy
[G]He just rode in from Ab[D]erdeen[Am]
He's got money in his [C]pockets[Am]
[C]And blisters like you've nev[D]er eve[C]r see[D]n
[G]Don't let him foo[D]l you with the stories
[G]Of all the money he has mad[D]e
[Am]I've been looking along
the north- east [C]coastline[Am]
[C]And those cowboys have alr[D]eady

[Interlude 1]
dug its grave
[G][D][G][D][G]
Once the money star[D]ted moving

[Verse 5]
[G]The fever spread from door
[D]to door[Am]
And all the young girls
started [C]selling
Something they had never [D]sold before
[G]The people spun around in [D]circles
[G]Confusion cluttering their
[D]minds[Am]
Their lives were being drawn [C]from them
By bastards of a hundred
dif[Am]ferent [D]kinds[G]

[Verse 6]
Look here comes a northern [D]cowboy
[G]He just rode in from Aber[D]deen[Am]
He's got money in his [C]pockets[Am]
[C]And blisters like you've never eve[D]r seen
[G]Don't let him foo[D]l you with
the [G]stories
Of all the money he has [D]made
[Am]I've been looking along
the north- east [C]coastline[Am]
[C]And those cowboys have already
dug its [D]grave

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 7]
[G]So come all ye northern cow[D]boys[G]
Get back down here upon the [D]farm[Am]
Leave the salt wind to [C]the sailors
Leave the North Sea [Am]to t[D]he storm[G]
And one day when it's all [D]over
[G]And you're hanging up your
saddles and [D]your guns
[Am]You'll look around this oil-
stained [C]country
And you'll wish to Christ it never [Am]had b[D]egun
