[Intro]
GA E E GA E E GA

[Verse 1]
E
His eyes are cold and restless
A E
His wounds have almost healed
A E
And she’d give half of Texas
A E
Just to change the way he feels
E
She knows his love’s in Tulsa
A
And she knows he’s gonna go
E
Well, it ain’t no woman, flesh and blood
B
It’s that damned old rodeo
[Chorus]
E
Well, it’s bulls and blood
It’s the dust and mud
A E
It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd
E
It’s the white in his knuckles
The gold in the buckle
B D G
He’ll win the next go round
E
It’s boots and chaps
It’s cowboy hats
A E
It’s spurs and latigo
E
It’s the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
B
And they call the thing rodeo
E E GA E E GA

[Verse 2]
E
She does her best to hold him
A E
When his love comes to call
A E
But his need for it controls him
A E
And her back’s against the wall
E
And it’s “so long girl, I’ll see you”:
A
When it’s time for him to go
E
You know the woman wants her cowboy
B
Like he wants his rodeo
[Chorus]
E
Well, it’s bulls and blood
It’s the dust and mud
A E
It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd
E
It’s the white in his knuckles
The gold in the buckle
B D G
He’ll win the next go round
E
It’s boots and chaps
It’s cowboy hats
A E
It’s spurs and latigo
E
It’s the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
B
And they call the thing rodeo
E E GA E E GA

[Verse 3]
E
It’ll drive a cowboy crazy
A E
It’ll drive a man insane
A E
And he’ll sell off everything he owns
A E
Just to pay to play her game
E
And a broken home and some broken bones
A
Is all he’ll have to show
E
For all the years that he spent chasin’
B
This dream they call rodeo
[Chorus]
E
Well, it’s bulls and blood
It’s the dust and mud
A E
It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd
E
It’s the white in his knuckles
The gold in the buckle
B D G
He’ll win the next go round
E
It’s boots and chaps
It’s cowboy hats
A E
It’s spurs and latigo
E
It’s the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
B
And they call the thing rodeo
E
It’s the broncs and the blood
It’s the steers and the mud
B E E
()
And they call the thing rodeo, whoa-whoa
