Vaquero chords

Capo: 2

[INTRO]
[Am]Out of the golden poplar shade, in[G]to a grassy sunlit glade
[F]The cowboy reins his horse to blow,
[E]sits and he scans the slopes below for ca[Am]ttle

[VERSE 1]
H[Am]is saddle's made to rope and ride, r[G]iata reins of braided hide
[F]Chaps and vest and hat pulled low
[E]Just like a hundred years ago, v[Am]aquero

[CHORUS]
[F]For a hundred years he's been the king,
his c[C]ricket clicks his rowels ring
Whe[G]re cattle graze the slopes and hills,
he p[F]ractices vaquero s[E]kills un[Am]changing [E]

[INTERLUDE]
[Am] [G] [F] [E] [Am]

[VERSE 2]
I[Am]n country made just for the cow,
to[G]o dry or steep to pull the plow
The c[F]owboy sits and drinks it in,
still [E]just like it's always been, [Am]high lonesome.

[VERSE 3]
No ma[Am]n made wonders in his sight,
[G]still can see the stars at night
[F]He's lost in time and all alone,
aw[E]ay out here he feels at h[Am]ome, contented. [F]

[CHORUS]
[F]For a hundred years he's been the king,
his c[C]ricket clicks his rowels ring
Whe[G]re cattle graze the slopes and hills,
he p[F]ractices vaquero s[E]kills un[Am]changing [E]

[INTERLUDE]
[Am] [G] [F] [E] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [F] [E] [Am]

[VERSE 4]
A[Am]nd as his eyes lift to the sky, as[G] if to watch an eagle fly
A j[F]et trail flits like skylight lace
[E]reminds him of his time and place
[F]Technology is here to stay, w[C]ill progress drive his kind away?
Wi[G]ll he melt away like the mountain snow
Or[F] go the way of the buffalo, f[Am]orgotten.

[CHORUS]
[F]For a hundred years he's been the king,
his c[C]ricket clicks his rowels ring
Whe[G]re cattle graze the slopes and hills,
he p[F]ractices vaquero s[E]kills un[Am]changing
