    G                    C        G
The show was a big one, an old rodeo

                                    A            D
They'd been trying to hire us for a few years or so

      C                            G
The grandstand was bursting, the infield was full

                                      D              G
They'd run all the chucks and they'd bucked all the bulls

    G                                  C              G
I felt stiff in the saddle, had been a year since I'd rode

                                  A         D
And I'd never been on him save an afternoon lope

    C                          G
But this was the last thing on my tortured mind

                                    D          G
As I put heels to belly and my band played the time

          D                         C                G
He was a big sorrel gelding with a golden streaked mane

    D                       C             G
A silver mounted saddle and hand braided reins

   G                          F              G
He had one blue eye that was clear like the rain

                                D           G
But the horse I rode in on felt none of my pain
(Intro)
     G                            C             G
Well we made quite an entrance in show business style

                            A            D
And ten thousand people all witnessed my smile

             C                        G
But you were not there among them I'm sorry to say

                                       D           G
As I rode through the crowd toward the big outdoor stage

     G                               C      G
If my pony was skittish with all the people around

                                         A               D
And if he spooked just a little when the spotlight shone down

     C                       G
It's nothing compared to the heart break and pain

                               D           G
That come with a love that has withered in vain

          D                         C                G
He was a big sorrel gelding with a golden streaked mane

    D                       C             G
A silver mounted saddle and hand braided reins

   G                          F              G
He had one blue eye that was clear like the rain

                                D           G
But the horse I rode in on felt none of my pain
(Intro)
   G                               C        G
So we played through the show like I always do

                        A               D
I sang every one of the love songs for you

     C                                 G
Then I climbed right back on him and I spurred him away
And as the cheers and the dust from the arena did fade
                             D        G
I didn’t feel like no cowboy anymore, anyway

          D                         C                G
He was a big sorrel gelding with a golden streaked mane

    D                       C             G
A silver mounted saddle and hand braided reins

   G                          F              G
He had one blue eye that was clear like the rain

                                D           G
But the horse I rode in on felt none of my pain
