Chris LeDoux – Silence On The Line (Guitar)

D            G             A
Took my last fall in San Diego

D          G                A
Bus headed north one headed south

G        A           D
I call a farm in Colorado

      G                            A
And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth

D        G                   A
She says hello I say it's me hon

D       G              A
Sorry I stayed away so long

         G                    A                    D
Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo

         G                                A
Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home

             D
Well there's silence on the line

             D
She says you sure did take your time

                                               A
But I still need a man for the things a man is good for

Em                         C
You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids

  G              A                   D
Demands a man at least as fit as you are

D
So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'

                                                    A
A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do

              Em
I hope you've finally found your mind

              C
To leave that rodeo behind

           G                 A                D
I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you

D                     G               A
I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her

D                 G                           A
Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me

   G            A            D        A       G
He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say

                                       A
But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see

D                    G                 A
But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories

D                  G               A
Sing the old songs play the guitar too

    G              A            D
I'd really like to show him Colorado

      G                                 A
But I thought I'd better leave it up to you

             D
Well there's silence on the line

          D
And now I hear her sayin'

                                               A
Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for

    Em                   C
And you know how it is a place just half this big

  G              A               D
Demands a man at least as fit as you are

D
Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face

D                                            A
All the chores and work and nothing he could do

       Em                              C
If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind

      G                  A                D
Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you

D                     G          A
Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone

D              G               A
Fumble with my crutches movin' slow

  G               A                 D   A    G
I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound

G                        A           D
And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
