Rodeo
Recorded by Garth Brooks
Written by Larry Bastian

C                                  F                  C
His eyes are cold and restless his wounds have almost healed
          F              C             F                 C
And she'd give a half of Texas just to change the way he feels
                                      F
She knows his love's in Tulsa and she knows he's gonna go
        C                                   G7
Well it ain't no woman flesh and blood it's that damned old rodeo

             C
Oh well it's bulls and blood it dust and mud 
         F                C
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd

It's the white in his knuckles the gold in the buckle 
      G7
He'll win the next go round
     C                                    F             C
It's boots and chaps its cowboy hats it's spurs and latigo
         
It's the ropes and the reins 
                                  G7                C
And the joy and the pain and they call the thing rodeo

                                   F                 C
She does her best to hold him when his love comes to call
        F              C                 F                  C
But his need for it controls him and her back's against the wall
                                  F
And its so long girl I'll see you when it's time for him to go
             C                              G7
You know the woman wants her cowboy like he wants his rodeo

Repeat #2

                                  F             C
It'll drive a cowpoke crazy it'll drive the man insane
          F            C                     F               C
And he'll sell of everything he owns just to pay to play her game
                                           F
And a broken home and some broken bones is all he'll have to show
            C                               G7
For all the years the he spent chasing this dream they call rodeo

repeat #2


It's the broncs and the blood it's the steers and the mud
         G7                C
And they call the thing rodeo
