Rodeo - Garth Brooks
Verse 1:
[A]His Eyes are cold and restless
His wounds have almost hea[A]led
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
