Storm", transcribed by Diron Lacina Ahlquist, June 2002. Play with a nice
easy strum.
CRisin' time's at Gfive, the Fred sun is still Csleepin'
My Fpillow is my Csaddle, the Gstars are my ceilin'
My Cwhole body's Gachin', I got a Fyoung colt needin' Cbreakin'
But ya Fknow I can't comCplain, Fthank God Gsome things never Cchange G
CThere's a storm somewhere that's Gbrewin' as Fthese old bones are Ccreakin'
The Fcows will soon be Cdown and Fthat old roof a Gleakin'
Got a Ctruck that needs some Gtendin' and some Ffences needin' Cmendin'
And I Fknow it must sound Cstrange, but Fthank God Gsome things never Cchange G
CHORUS
They Ffenced in all the free land and Coil wells run the range
FLong gone are the cattle drives since they Cbrought in the trains
But the Dmhard work and the Ffriendships still reCmain
FThank God Gsome things never Cchange. G
COut here where Gnature rules each Fday's a different Cbattle
And Fit still takes a Cman Gworkin' in the saddle
No machCine can break a Gbay or Fbring in a lonely Cstray
So I Fguess I will reCmain, Fthank God Gsome things never Cchange. G
CHORUS
Yeah it Flooks like this old cowboy will reGmain
FThank God Gsome things never Cchange.
