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

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

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.
