Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (A flatdim) (D major) (B major) (E major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Some men
from Oahe and Catron Counties
Got to (G major) gether to make them a plan (D major)
Went into the bar with a
thunderous roar
Walked (E major) a mountainous (A major) man
He (B minor) (D major) sat on two barstools,
grabbed him a bottle
Then glared (G major) with the eyes of a (D major) snake
He was (G major) big as a boxcar, (D major) tall as a tree
And (A major) tough as a Ted Turner steak (D major)
He was (B minor) Marvelous Marvin,
a (D major) modern -day thief
A (B minor) bureaucrat that had gone (D major) bad
A (B minor) slick -willy, sycophant, (D major) babbitt believer
He (E major) worked for the BLM (A major)
So the (D major) law was behind him,
a man on a mission
He (G major) knew he could do no wrong (D major)
He said, (G major) I won't be happy
till (D major) this country's empty
All (A major) the cows and the cowboys are (D major) gone
He bellowed, hey, barkeep,
how can a man drink
in (G major) a place that's smelling like cows? (D major)
For a nickel, I'd do it,
there'd be nothing to it, bare (E major) handed
I'd clean this place (A major) out. Well,
(D major) Idaho Dave and Nevada Slim
happene (G major) d to be there that (D major) day.
They'd (G major) been pushed around
by these (D major) government thugs
And they'd (A major) finally had
all they could take (D major)
Then (B minor) in a flash there (D major) was a full Nelson
Had (B minor) Marvin pinned (G major) to the spot (D major)
Slim (B minor) broke a pool cue over (D major) a bar stool
And (E major) tenderized Marvin a (A major) lot
For years (D major) of abuse,
they weren't getting even
They (G major) took turns to make it more fair (D major)
When the (G major) stomping was done,
old (D major) Marvin was stomped
From his (A major) Birkenstocks up to his (D major) hair
They pried out his earring
and punched in a fly tag
They rolled him and (G major) branded his butt
(D major) Slim said, I can tell that
you're not papered,
and (A major) for (E major) a nickel, son,
you'd leave hair (A major) cut.
Turn (D major) s out the boys couldn't
scrape up five cents,
was a (G major) drought,
and the market was (D major) bad.
Nobody (G major) thought to check
(D major) Marvin's pockets,
he'd (A major) lost a lot more they had.
(D major) Dave (B minor) loaded him up
in the tax (D major) payer's truck
Said, (B minor) Marvin,
we're glad that (G major) you stopped (D major)
As (B minor) you pointed out,
(D major) this bar needed cleaning
You (E major) made a mighty good (A major) mop
(B minor) His (A major) (D major) pickup threw gravel
clear out to the cattle
That (G major) grazed the allotment out (D major) back
That (G major) man on a mission
just lost (D major) his ambition.
Those (A major) were the last stones that
he cast. (D major) (G major) (A flatdim) (D major) (B major) (E major) (A major) (D major)
Now Marvin's a barber in San Francisco
with his (G major) nickel that he framed for luck (D major) .
From that fateful day,
when the lack of the dough
Was all (E major) that kept Marvin a (A major) buck
Idaho (D major) Dave and Nevada Swim
Went (G major) way past what the law al (D major) lows
But (G major) there's still a lesson
for you (D major) cowboy haters
You'd (A major) rather have us punching cows (D major)
So (G major) all you tree huggers,
(D major) you Bruno snail lovers,
(G major) Sierra clubbers,
(D major) cowboy hatin' pluggers,
You'd (A major) rather have us punchin',
you'd rather have us punchin' cows. (D major) (D major)
you
Marvin
