I Am Not The Only Cowboy

Biography:

Josh Joplin Group was a Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

I Am Not The Only Cowboy
Josh Joplin Group
The Future That Was
Standard Tuning

G 320033
Cadd9 x32033
D xx0232

G
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
Cadd9
by a moment complete in its happiness
G
Far away from the things that we wish to escape
Cadd9
that lead us to think we are not awake
G
We are ourselves despite ourselves
Cadd9
this place gets smaller as the universe swells
G Cadd9
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually.
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I am not the only life guard who's washed up on the shore

CHORUS:
D D
Wake me up take me out
C D
Calm me down when I'm in doubt
D Cadd9
And I'm in doubt
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Everyday

G Cadd9
And words are like weight with density and shape modifying forms they evaporate
G
You can choose the truth you can listen to light
Cadd9
you can lead the charge and still loose the fight
G
Far be it for me to claim anything
Cadd9
for I am just one in a state of being
G Cadd9
I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I am not the only proverb that never really fits
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I am not the only Caulfield who's catching more than kids

CHORUS

G Cadd9
And so it ends as it begins as everything that is infinite ascends
G Cadd9
Into it's time all things pass all things fade all things last
G
You are yourself despite yourself
Cadd9
this world grows smaller as the universe swells
G Cadd9
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight

CHORUS

G
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
Cadd9
by a moment complete in its happiness
G Cadd9
We are ourselves, eventually, eventually, eventually
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor

This is my first ever attempt at this, so please don't hesitate to correct me. I believe
transistion are all in the correct places but I'm not confident I have the chords
especially in the chorus. Thanks
