Tadpoles And Eagles

Tom: Em

G                A
Oh, it's hot in Texas
C                       G
About as hot as it can get
G                   A
Mesquite trees and cactus
C                        G
Are trying hard not to sweat
G                  A
Over yonder's that old paisano
    C                       G
He's hunting him a bit of shade
G                             A
But the tadpoles in the cow trough
C                      G
Man, they sure got it made
G                  A
Buried under that cool green moss
C                          G
Down where the sun don't shine
G                    A
Cool in the hottest weather
C                          G
Man, they're cool all the time

[Chorus 1]
G                A
Oh, I'd like to join them
C                   G
Wonder if there is room
G                 A
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy
C                   G
Tadpoles make some room

[Verse 2]
G                A
Oh, my burden's heavy
C                      G
I carry such a mighty load
G                  A
Up above soars an eagle
C                G
I wonder if he knows
G                  A
What I'd give to trade with him
C            G
Go where he goes
G                A
I wonder if that old eagle knows
C                                      G
What I'd give to know the heights he knows

[Chorus 2]
G                A
Oh, I'd like to join him
C                   G
Wonder if there is room
G                 A
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy
C                G
Eagle make some room

[Bridge]
G A C G (4X)

[Verse 3]
A                      B
Some day will come a blue norther
D                     A
Big wind and lots of rain
A                       B
I'd love to be like a grand blue norther
D                 A
Blow away all my pain
A                          B
I'd let it all out in one mighty big breath
D                      A
Dump my tears on the plains
A                             B
Yeah, I'd love to be like a grand blue norther
D                 A
Blow away all my pain

[Chorus 3]
A                B
Oh, I'd like to join him
D                     A
I wonder if there is room
A                 B
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy
D                  A
Norther make some room
