INTRO: D  G  Em  A

    D                        G      Em    A    
The cows in the moo yard are making their plans
        G           Em             D           A
For the long winter nights and the cold winter hands
     D          G           Em           A
Some out in the fields, are covered with snow
    G               Em            D                A
The black ones turn white and the white ones don't show


    D            G         Em           A
Big lumps in the sunset, between bovine dreams
      G       Em         D           A
Their icicled udders are waiting for spring
    D           G               Em           A
And up from the road, comes the sound of the wheel
        G             Em                  D            A
Just an old ice cream wagon, they say, "I know how you feel"


D             G                  Em          A
Some dream of India, where their cousins are stars
         G              Em           D               A
But they don't like the crowds, they stay where they are
    D             G           Em          A
And some dream of Florida, of roaming the beach
     G       Em          D             A
With metal detectors for gold they can reach


      D            G            Em         A
Well, what can you do? It's the ice or the flies
    G           Em           D           A
The temperature slowing, the tails going by
       D       G            Em        A
It's a dairy existence, and I must conclude
     G         Em           D            A
Cold milk in a bottle still beats frozen food
