Bastian * GAEGA E5 A His eyes are cold and restless and his wounds E5 A E5 A have almost healed And she'd give half of Texas just to change the E5 way he feels. Well, she knows his love's in Tulsa, and she knows, A7 E5 E7 he's gonna go. Well, it ain't no woman, flesh and blood, it's that B5 E5 (chorus) damned old rodeo, Well, it's bulls and blood, it's the dust and mud A5 E5 E7 E5 it's the roar of a sunday crowd. It's the white in his knuckles, B5 D5 B5 E5 the gold in the buckle he'll win the next go 'round. It's boots and A5 E5 chaps, it's cowboy hat's, it's spurs and latigo. It's the ropes and the B5 E5 reins, and the joy and the pain, and they call the thing rodeo. GAEG A (v.2) She (to *) (v.3) It'll (to *) Verse 3 outro- E5 It's the broncs and blood, it's the steers and the mud, and they B5 EGAEGA call the thing rodeo. Verse 2: She does her best to hold him When his love comes to call. But his need for it controls him now, Her backs against the wall. And it's "So long, girl, I'll see you.", When it's time for him to go. You know the woman wants her cowboy Like he wants his rodeo. (chorus) Verse 3: It'll drive a cowboy crazy, It'll drive the man insane. And he'll sell off everything he owns Just to pay to play her game. And a broken home and some broken bones Is all he'll have to show For all the years that he's spent cahsin' this dream they call rodeo. (chorus) E5th chord is: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- * 7 -- -- -- -- -- * * -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I love this song, for obvious reasons.
