Poor Cow

#NOTES:
#-The whole song is played with bar chords, although A sounds fine open obviously. I
#to match the timing to the lyrics.
#-For the E chords play the bar chord, not the open.
#-The bits in the chorus that go A A A E or A A E, try to slide up from the A to the E
#you're playing an open A).
#-The riff goes along with the words Peter sings, just follow them as you listen to get timing.

AAAE
C# C# B B B A
When all is gone, and things go wrong,
Riff
We don't need them anymore.
C#C#B B B A
The artifacts and all they lack,
Riff
We don't need them anymore.
AAAE
C# C# B B B A
I don't have the means, and so it seems
Riff
For now I can't participate.
C# C# B
But I've waited long,
B B A
Now the dollar's strong again,
Riff
I still can't participate.
EEF#m C# A E
When we don't consume it seems we are immune
C# B
To all of the thoughts they sell,
B B F#m
You know as well as I, that's a lie...
E A
'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend,
E A
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
A
I want to spend, I want to spend,
A E
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
C# C# B B B A
And when I die, the angels will try
Riff
To count all my belongings.
C# C# B B B A
To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt,
Riff
To see if I'm worth keeping.
Lyrics
EEF#m C# A E
But the house I rent and the car I drive,
C# B
I'm sorry but they ain't mine.
B B F#m
You know as well as I, that's no lie...
E A
'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend,
E A
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
A
I want to spend, I want to spend,
E A
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
C# A
And it always ends, and it always ends...
AAAE
