G+G G+G
Verse :
G+G
He got down out of the cattle truck
FF G+G
In the Amarillo night
G+G
He looked up at the Texas sky
G minorGm
And thought of his last ride
FF G+G
He'd trade all his tomorrows
C majorC G+G
For eight seconds one more time
G+G
He could'a made World Champion Cowboy
C majorC G+G G+G
Back in nineteen sixty nine
Verse :
G+G
He thanked the driver for the ride
FF G+G
And he closed the semi door
G+G
And limped across the parking lot
G minorGm
To another liquor store
FF G+G
He held onto the bottle
C minorCm G+G
As he counted out his change
G+G
And he felt like some old saddle bronc
C majorC G+G
Who'd been turned out on the range
Chorus:
FF
When the rodeo is over
G+G FF
Where does the cowboy go?
C minorCm
Never thought it'd be his last ride
C majorC
Till the last time he got throw'd
FF
When your heart can't take the losin'
G+G FF
And your knees can't take the blows
G+G
When the rodeo is over,
C majorC FF
Where does the cowboy go?
G+G FF G+G FF
Where does the cowboy go?
Break:
G minorGm
Whiskey on his breath
G minorGm
And the age in his eyes
FF G+G
He'll hitch a ride on the interstate
C minorCm G+G C majorC C majorC
And fade into the sunrise
Verse :
G+G
Now, Sedona, she's a vortex
FF G+G
But she's sweeter than the coast
G+G
He smokes cigarettes he can't afford
G minorGm
And whistles to a ghost
FF
His boots belong to memory
G+G FF
And his spurs belong to rust
G+G
He'll be picking up his turquoise
C majorC G+G
And leave the buckles in the dust
Chorus:
FF
When the rodeo is over
G+G FF
Where does the cowboy go?
C minorCm
He never thought it'd be his last ride
C majorC
Till the last time he got throw'd
FF
When your heart can't take the losin'
G+G FF
And your knees can't take the blows
G+G
When the rodeo is over
C majorC G minorGm
Where Do the cowboys go?
Outro:

When the rodeo is over

Where does the cowboy go?
