A
Dixie was a lady and a Rodeo Queen

Billy was her lover ah you know what I mean
G              D            A
Billy rode the bulls in the big Rodeo
E               D           A
Dixie loved her man and she told him so
E               D           A
Dixie loved her man and she told him so



Brought a bad bull to the big Rodeo

Said He`d killed a man out in New Mexico
G     D          A
Dixie said Billy please don`t go
      E        D             A
Don`t ride the killer in the Rodeo
           E               D          A
You`re the only man that I love and I need you so
A
Then Billy he looked at Dixie
A
Looked her right in the eyes



           D                     A
Well I`m a wild bull rider and I love my Rodeo
    D
I`d ride that bull to Hell and back
        A
for the money and the show
      D
If my pappy was a pistol I`m a son of a gun
  A                       F#
I ride wild bulls just to have some fun
        D                    B                  E
And the higher they get is a little too low for me
           D                                       A
I said the higher they get is a little too low for me



Billy rode that killer out of New Mexico

He rode him cross the Rockies through the rain and the snow
G               D             A
Rode across the desert to the shining sea
E               D            A
Rode across the water out to Hawaii
E               D            A
Rode across the water out to Hawaii
                  D
Aloha Ha Ha Aloha Hey
A                 D
Aloha Ha Ha Aloha Hey



A
Billy rode that bull around the world and then

He rode him out to Jupiter and back again
G         D         A
Picked up Dixie and away they did fly
E               D            A
Like a shooting star sailing through the sky
E               D            A
Like a shooting star sailing through the sky



And I could hear Billy say he said

I`d rather be a lover than a fighter of wars

Be from Oklahoma than the nebulous stars
G              D            A
Spent a lot of time in some honky tonk bars
E                   D     A
From memphis to the China Sea
E                   D     A
From memphis to the China Sea


          D                     A
And I`m a wild bull rider and I love my Rodeo
    D
I`d ride that bull to Hell and back
        A
for the money and the show
      D
If my pappy was a pistol I`m a son of a gun
  A                       F#
I ride wild bulls just to have some fun
        D                    B                  E
And the higher they get is a little too low for me
           D                                       A
I said the higher they get is a little too low for me
                  D
Aloha Ha Ha Aloha Hey
A                 D
Aloha Ha Ha Aloha Hey
                  D
Aloha Ha Ha Aloha Hey
A                 D
Aloha Ha Ha Aloha Hey (fade)
