Chords with lyrics
E MajorE
His Eyes are cold and restless
E MajorE
His wounds have almost healed
A augmentedA E MajorE
And she’d give half of Texas
A augmentedA E MajorE
Just to change the way he feels
She knows his love’s in Tulsa
A augmentedA
And she knows he’s gonna go
E MajorE
Well, it ain’t no woman, flesh and blood
B7B7
It’s that damned old rodeo
- - -
E MajorE
Well, it’s bulls and blood
It’s dust and mud
A augmentedA E MajorE
It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd
It’s the white in his knuckles
The gold in his buckle
B7B7
He’ll win the next go round
E MajorE
It’s boots and chaps
It’s cowboy hats
A augmentedA E MajorE
It’s spurs and latigo
It’s the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
B7B7
And they call the thing rodeo
E, G, A, E, G, A augmentedA
- - -
E MajorE
She does her best to hold him
A augmentedA E MajorE
When his loves comes to call
A augmentedA E MajorE
But his need for it controls him
A augmentedA E MajorE
And her back’s against the wall
And it’s “so long girl, I’ll see you”:
A augmentedA
When it’s time for him to go
E MajorE
You know the woman wants her cowboy
B7B7
Like he wants his rodeo
- - -
E MajorE
Well, it’s bulls and blood
It’s dust and mud
A augmentedA E MajorE
It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd
It’s the white in his knuckles
The gold in his buckle
B7B7
He’ll win the next go round
E MajorE
It’s boots and chaps
It’s cowboy hats
A augmentedA E MajorE
It’s spurs and latigo
It’s the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
B7B7
And they call the thing rodeo
E, G, A, E, G, A augmentedA

E MajorE
It’ll drive a cowboy crazy
A augmentedA E MajorE
It’ll drive a man insane
A augmentedA E MajorE
And he’ll sell off everything he owns
A augmentedA E MajorE
Just to pay to play her game
And a broken home and some broken bones
A augmentedA
Is all he’ll have to show
E MajorE
For all the years that he spent chasin’
B7B7
This dream they call rodeo

Well, it’s bulls and blood
It’s dust and mud
A augmentedA E MajorE
It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd
It’s the white in his knuckles
The gold in his buckle

He’ll win the next go round
E MajorE
It’s boots and chaps
It’s cowboy hats
A augmentedA E MajorE
It’s spurs and latigo
It’s the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
B7B7
And they call the thing rodeo

E MajorE
It’s the broncs and the blood
It’s the steers and the mud
B7B7 E MajorE
And they call the thing rodeo
