C majorC             FF     C majorC
Clayton was a cowboy from Branson
Colorado
C majorC                G+G
He never had a drink he didn't like
C majorC             FF               C majorC
And every chance that he would get, he'd turn it up full throttle
C majorC                    G+G           C majorC
I guess that's just the way old Clayton liked to live his life

C majorC                FF     C majorC
His mama always told him not to worship any idols
C majorC                  G+G
Puttin' faith in man will almost always let you down
C majorC                 FF         C majorC
Drivin' cross the country, he was winnin' all the titles
C majorC                  G+G        C majorC
Breakin' hearts along the way and livin' town to town

C majorC                  FF
Out west of the Rockies, up in Northern California
C majorC                     G+G
Through the ridin' and the ropin', a young lady caught his eye
C majorC
She asked him, "Would you like to dance "
FF               C majorC
And he said, "I've gotta warn ya
C majorC                  G+G          C majorC
I was born with two left feet, but I can give it my best try"


🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm         E MajorE
Nothin' good lasts forever
FF     G+G    C majorC
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try
C majorC                A minorAm
They say it's better late than never
FF           G+G
Hell can wait until tomorrow
G+G            C majorC
He's got one more bull to ride

🎸 Verse 4:
C majorC              FF
He pulled into a rodeo somewhere in Oklahoma
C majorC                  G+G
Wind was blowin' strong and kicked the dust into his eyes
C majorC                   FF
He walked into a field to smell the flowers' sweet aroma
C majorC                G+G          C majorC
Said a cowboy's prayer and then he looked up to the sky

C majorC                     FF
They paired him with an angry bull whose name was El Diablo
C majorC                G+G
Tied the rope down tight and the gates swung open wide
C majorC                    FF
He bucked him off the side, but his hand just wouldn't let go
C majorC                    G+G          C majorC
The clowns all tried to save him as the crowd looked on in fright


🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm         E MajorE
Nothin' good lasts forever
FF     G+G    C majorC
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try
C majorC                A minorAm
They say it's better late than never
FF           G+G
Hell can wait until tomorrow
G+G            C majorC
He's got one more bull to ride

C majorC                FF
A augmentedA somber wave of silence swept over the arena
C majorC                 G+G
As Clayton lay there lyin' on the cold and dirty ground

SLOW

Colorado

His ramblin' days are over, this old cowboy's homeward bound
