Song of the King (Seven fat cows)
E ~
(Pharaoh:
E
1. Well, I was wandering along the banks of the river
when
seven fat cows came out of the Nile, ahaha,
E
And right behind these fine
healthy animals
came
seven other cows that were skinny and vile, ahaha,
A
And then the thin cows ate the
fat cows,
which
I thought would do them good, ahaha, oh yeah,
E
but
it didn't make them fatter like
such
a monster supper should, oh, no !
A
Well, the thin cows were as
thin as they had
B7
ever,
ever, ever been. - - -
E
Well, this dream has got me
baffled, hey,
G A E
Joseph, won’t you tell what it
means ?
A B7 A B7
Well, you know that kings ain't stupid, but I don't have a clue,
A B7
so
don't be cruel Joseph, help me now, I beg of you !
E
2. Well, I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town,
when
I saw seven beautiful ears of corn, ahaha,
E
They were ripe, they were golden, but you've guessed it,
right
behind them there were seven other ears
that
were tattered and torn, ahaha.
A
Then the bad corn ate the good
corn,
they
came up from behind, yes, they did !
E
Now, Joseph, here's the punch line,
it's
really
gonna blow your mind.
A
Well, the bad corn was as bad
as it had
B7
ever,
ever, ever, ever been.
E
This dream has got me all
shook up,
G A E - B7
treat
me nice and tell me what it means. - - -

you tell poor old Pharaoh,
E

does it mean? + A - C - B7 - E - F -

(Joseph, spoken : ) Why, I understand that bad corn tale,
but
if you could just give me a second about
the cows !
