What Am I Doing Here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as performed by Michael Martin Murphy on Cowboy Songs I album
notated by Greg Vaughn (gvaughn@olga.net)

E E/G A E
1: Starin` at the south end of north bound cattle
Cm B
Slavin` in the saddle all day
E E/G A F
You`ve got to be some kind of natural born fool
E/B B A E B
To want to live your life this way

2: Well it can`t be the cooking, it sure ain`t the money
The devil made the horse that I ride
The days are too long and the nights are too short
And the boss ain`t never satisfied

CHORUS
E E/G A E Cm Fm B
So what am I doing here Lord, what am I doing here
E E/G A F
There`s got to be something better up there
E/B A E
So what am I doing here

BRIDGE
Cm Gm
Sometimes I wonder in the lightning and the thunder
A B E G7
If a cowboy`s even got a prayer
Cm Gm
And why`d you have to make it so hard down here
F7 B
When things are so much better up there

3: Now the Lord called his angels all around the throne
Said boys I must be wastin` my time
`Cause I thought I gave the cowboy a pretty good life
Now he`s complaining `till the day he dies

repeat chorus twice
