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

C#m 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 C#m F#m 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

C#m G#m

Sometimes I wonder in the lightning and the thunder

A B E G#7

If a cowboy's even got a prayer

C#m G#m

And why'd you have to make it so hard down here

F#7 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
