*I prefer playing C/G, but a standard C will fit the bill too if you don't alternate bass strums.*
[Intro]
C/G C/G F C G C/G
[Verse 1]
C/G G Well most of the time things are pretty sublime, In this little one-horse town F G C/G Well they close all the stores, and they roll up the streets when the evenin' sun goes down F But the Fourth of July, flags will be flyin' high, as folks come from miles around C/G G C/G They'll be roarin' all night till the dawn's early light, when the big rodeo comes to town
[Verse 2]
C/G Well there ain't no top names in rodeo fame G No Tibbs' or Larry Mahans G Just some local Cowboys, out to make em' some noise F G C/G But they know everyone in the stands C/G They're lean and they're wild, with tobacco-stained smiles F And they don't care if they make a dime C/G If they win or they lose, well they don't give a hoot G7 C/G They're out just to have a good time
[Chorus]
F C/G There's Cowboys and ladies, and old folks and babies, and young girls with stars in their eyes G F G C/G Flashy Bronc riders and western old-timers, tellin' their stories and lies F There's cold beer and brandy, and pink cotton candy C/G When it's over they'll all head on down G C/G To the rodeo dance for some midnight romance, when the big rodeo comes to town
[Break]
F C G C/G
[Verse 3]
G The band's playin' loud to that dancehall crowd, as boots stir the dust on the floor F G C/G At the bar they're playin' old Willy and Waylon, as beers disappear by the score F But hangovers I'll bet, they'll soon forget, when next year comes rollin' around C/G G C/G They'll be at it again with all of their friends, when the big rodeo comes to town
[Chorus]
F C/G There'll Cowboys and ladies, and old folks and babies, and young girls with stars in their eyes G F G C/G Flashy Bronc riders and western old-timers, tellin' their stories and lies F There'll be cold beer and brandy, and pink cotton candy C/G When it's over they'll all head on down G C/G To the rodeo dance for some midnight romance, when the big rodeo comes to town
[Outro]
F C/G G C
