This is pretty accurate. I've played along to it several times with these chords,

and it sounds right. However, if anyone thinks there's something in here that's

incorrect just leave a comment.

I like to play it in drop D and do a full upward strum on the very first D

of the progression. I think that's how they played it when recording.

Intro

Verse

I'm out here

chasin' th

ese ra

inbows that I need to find,

I go and Lord

She drew a

low card when she gave me her heart,

And s

That

sweet littl

e angel went and got herself tangled

In the a

rms

Chorus

Well I k

now she deserve

s more tha

n a drifter that lives for the lights,

Smokey bars and

guitars do

n't make for no fairy tale life,

And

every time I

head home I think I'll find her gone,

But s

he's still th

ere and still wants to be,

In the

arms o

f a cow

Verse 2

She's worn

between the bed and the phone,

She w

That's

In the

arms

of a c

Well I

But s

In the
