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
