Rodeo - Garth Brooks
Verse 1:
[A] His Eyes are cold and restless
His wounds have almost heal[A]ed
And [D] she’d give half of [A] Texas
Just to [D] change the way he [A] feels
She knows his love’s in Tulsa
And she [D] knows he’s gonna go
Well, it [A] ain’t no woman, flesh and blood
It’s that [E7] damned old rodeo
|[Chorus]
|Well, it’s [A] bulls and blood
|It’s dust and mud
|It’s the [D] roar of a Sunday [A] crowd
|It’s the white in his knuckles
|The gold in his buckle
|He’ll [E7] win the next go [G] round [C]
|It’s [A] boots and chaps
|It’s cowboy hats
|It’s [D] spurs and [A] latigo
|It’s the ropes and the reins
|And the joy and the pain
|And they [E7] call the thing rodeo
Instrumental:
[A] [C] [D] [A] [C] [D]
Verse 2:
She [A] does her best to hold him
When [D] his loves comes to [A] call
But [D] his need for it con[A]trols him
And her [D] back’s against the [A] wall
And it’s “so long girl, I’ll see you”
When it’s [D] time for him to go
You know [A] the woman wants her cowboy
Like he [E7] wants his rodeo
[Chorus]
Instrumental:
[A] [C] [D] [A] [C] [D]
Verse 3:
It’ll [A] drive a cowboy crazy
It’ll [D] drive a man [A] insane
And he’ll [D] sell off every[A]thing he owns
Just to [D] pay to play her [A] game
And a broken home and some broken bones
Is [D] all he’ll have to show
For [A] all the years that he spent chasin’
This [E7] dream they call rodeo
[Chorus]
Outro:
It’s [A] the broncs and the blood
It’s the steers and the mud
And they [E7] call the thing [A] rodeo
