• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: A

🎸 Intro:
 A           | Asus4       | A           | Asus4       :

🎸 Verse 1:
A                       Asus4
  Roped him in like I was a cowboy,
A                           Asus4
  looked at him, said, "I gotcha now, boy"
          D                      E                       A      Asus4
and that first night was like nothing I'd ever known.
A                     Asus4
  He had a heart as wild as horses,
A                         Asus4
  said, "Boy, you gotta make a choice"
    D                  E                A      Asus4
and he chose me over that ole rodeo.

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    C#m                                     D
But sometimes I still see it in his eyes:
         Bm                                E
when he talks about that life he left behind.

🎸 Chorus:
              D                              A
If things go South, he'll probably go out West,
               C#m                                      E
strap on them spurs, kick up that dirt, zip up that vest.
             D                                 C#m
It's in his blood to saddle up against the wind,
              D                            Dm
if things go South, I'll find a way somehow to get to him.

🎸 Interlude:  A           | Asus4       | A           | Asus4       :

🎸 Verse 2:
A                    Asus4
  He ain't used to crowded places,
A                             Asus4
  he's more at home in opеn spaces,
          D                    E                      A      Asus4
so, I've faced thе fact that one day he might run.
       D                   D                    E         E
And I pray it don't, but if that day should come.

🎸 Chorus:
              D                              A
If things go South, he'll probably go out West,
               C#m                                      E
strap on them spurs, kick up that dirt, zip up that vest.
             D                                 C#m
It's in his blood to saddle up against the wind,
              D                            Dm
if things go South, I'll find a way somehow to get to him.

🎸 Bridge:
F#m                     D
  The way he got to me
                 A                       E           E
and anywhere he goes is where I gotta be.

End-🎸 Chorus:
              D*                            A*
If things go South he'll probably go out West,
                             C#m                                      E
(? ? lyrics) strap on them spurs, kick up that dirt, zip up that vest.
             D                                 C#m
It's in his blood to saddle up against the wind,
              D                            Dm
if things go South, I'll find a way somehow to get to him. A           | Asus4       | A           | Asus4       :
              D*                       Dm*
If things go South, I'd leave right now, to get to him. A           | Asus4       | A           | Asus4       : A           | Asus4       | A*          |:
