• Capo on 4th

Intro:

G   G



Verse :
    G
He got down out of the cattle truck
        F        G
In the Amarillo night

    G
He looked up at the Texas sky
     Gm
And thought of his last ride

      F               G
He'd trade all his tomorrows
           C                G
For eight seconds one more time

            G
He could'a made World Champion Cowboy
         C              G    G
Back in nineteen sixty nine




Verse :
    G
He thanked the driver for the ride
        F               G
And he closed the semi door

     G
And limped across the parking lot
     Gm
To another liquor store

    F             G
He held onto the bottle
       Cm              G
As he counted out his change

        G
And he felt like some old saddle bronc
            C             G
Who'd been turned out on the range



Chorus:
          F
When the rodeo is over
       G              F
Where does the cowboy go?
       Cm
Never thought it'd be his last ride
          C
Till the last time he got throw'd

           F
When your heart can't take the losin'
          G                F
And your knees can't take the blows

          G
When the rodeo is over,
       C              F
Where does the cowboy go?

                      G    F   G   F
Where does the cowboy go?


Break:
 Gm
Whiskey on his breath
        Gm
And the age in his eyes
       F                   G
He'll hitch a ride on the interstate
     Cm    G       C      C
And fade into the sunrise




Verse :
        G
Now, Sedona, she's a vortex
           F                G
But she's sweeter than the coast

           G
He smokes cigarettes he can't afford
     Gm
And whistles to a ghost

     F
His boots belong to memory
         G           F
And his spurs belong to rust

          G
He'll be picking up his turquoise
               C              G
And leave the buckles in the dust


Chorus:
          F
When the rodeo is over
       G              F
Where does the cowboy go?
          Cm
He never thought it'd be his last ride
          C
Till the last time he got throw'd

           F
When your heart can't take the losin'
          G                F
And your knees can't take the blows

          G
When the rodeo is over
      C              Gm
Where Do the cowboys go?


Outro:
          G
When the rodeo is over
       C             G
Where does the cowboy go?
