Walk Throught the Bottomland - Lyle Lovett
C F G C
A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
F Em G7
And she was a lady I say
C F G C
But she met a cowboy who rode on a rodeo
F G C
And he stole her heart straight away
C F G C
The New Jersey lady she loved him so true
F Em G7
Another love she never had
C F G C
But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue
F G C
And they make the ladies so sad
F C
Chorus: Sing me a melody
F C
Sing me a blues
F C G C
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
F C
The Brazos she's running scared
F C
She heard the news
F C G C
Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
C F G C
The New Jersey lady knew he loved her too
F Em G7
And you know she tried to hold on
C F G C
But the rodeo life was the life that he knew
F G C
He had to keep drifting along
C F G C
She never married and she never would
F Em G7
And all of the people they'd say
C F G C
The New Jersey lady she just ain't no good
F G C
To follow a cowboy that way
Chorus
F C G C
The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night
F Em G
And in the morning he'd go
F C G C
She loved the darkness and hated the light
D G
Along with that damn rodeo
C F G C
The New Jersey lady the day that he died
F Em G7
She covered him over with clay
C F G C
And feeling the wind in the night as she cried
F G C
She heard the old cowboy say
Chorus
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LYLE LOVETT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
