Verse 1:
C          G
Put on his dusty hat,
Am      G
Told himself,
F
Don’t look back,
C                  F
Dreamed about that buckle,
       G   Gadd11 G
For so long.

Verse 2:
    C                 G
And oh she loved him, deep inside,
Am      G       F
Well she had to draw the line,
C                    F
She wouldn’t spend another night,
 G   Gadd11 G
Alone.


Pre-Chorus 1:
Am               G
He felt short of givin’ in,
    F
And she fell on the bed,
C        Dm
 And the whole world fell upon,
         Gadd11 G
When she said:


Chorus:
                C
If you’re gonna ride,
G          F
 I’m gonna walk,
G C                 G
  You’ll be hanging on tonight,
F
I’ll be letting go,
     G       C
Make up your mind,
G             F
 You make the call,
             Dm
I’ve made up mine,
             G
You’re gonna ride,
          C
I’m gonna walk.


Verse 3:
    C                 G
He called her up from San Antone,
    Am     G       F
And hoping she was all alone,
C             F              G Gadd11 G
Looking for a love he left behind,
C                      G
She said she found somebody new,
   Am     G      F
He wanted her to say “I do”,
C                 F               G Gadd11 G
 He didn’t say if she made up her mind.


Pre-Chorus 2:
   Am               G
He told her that he missed her,
          F
And asked if there was a way,
C      Dm
 But before he got it out,
             Gadd11 G
He heard her say:


Chorus:
             C
You’re gonna ride,
G          F
 I’m gonna walk,
G C                 G
  You’ll be hanging on tonight,
F
I’ll be letting go,
     G       C
Make up your mind,
G             F
 You make the call,
             Dm
I’ve made up mine,
             G
You’re gonna ride,
          C
I’m gonna walk.

His voice was shaking,

Bb                Fmaj7
He said: “I can’t share you”,
     F            G        G
It’s me or that Rodeo

             C

G C                 G
  You’ll be hanging on tonight,

I’ll be letting go,
     G       C
Make up your mind,
G             F
 You make the call,
