THE COWS CAME HOME
Joe Diffie
05/05/04

Intro:  (G)  (G)  (G)  (G)

I'm (G) used to havin' my (C) breakfast in (G) bed
Never have to lift a finger to (C) butter my (G) bread
I keep my (C) baby satisfied if you know what I mean
'Cause she (G) told me I'm walkin' talkin' (C) love mach(G)ine
Lord, I (D) got the self assurance of a king on a throne
Cause she (No Chord) told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home

   The (C7) cows came home
   The (D7) cows came home
   I (D7) heard somethin' mooin'
   Turned around and she was gone
   (No Chord) Lord have mercy, the (C) cows came (G) home

The whole (G) herd showed up when they (C) heard she'd (G) gone
But I guess it's better than (C) bein' al(G)one
Well the (C) slammin' of the door is like a pie in the face
But I (G) got enough milk for the (C) human (G) race
I didn't (D) have a clue that there was anything wrong
'Cause she (No Chord) told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home

REPEAT CHORUS

(C) I didn't see the writing on the wall
(D) Missed the invitation to the bovine ball
(C) I didn't hear no cowbells ringin'
Gonna (D) have to face the music that the (No Chord) fat lady's singin'

REPEAT CHORUS

(No Chord) Lord have mercy, the (C) cows came (G) home
