[Intro] G A | E | E G A | E | E G A | [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 G A | E | E G A | [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 G A | E | E G A | [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
[Outro] | E G A | E | E G A | | E (fade out)
