[Verse]
       E
From a phonebooth in Cheyenne

         G#m
I made a promise to Diane

        A          F#m              B     B/A  B/G#  B/F#
No more rodeos I'd gone my last go 'round

         E                            G#m
The same promise that I made in San Antone and Sante Fe

      A               F#m            B
But tonight I saddled up and let her down
[Chorus]
A    E           C#m      B   E    B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away

C#m  E/B       F#m                A             B    B/A  B/G# (F# G# B C#)
      And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday

     A                  G#m
Wild horses just stay wild

        A              Am
and her heart is all I break

     E           C#m      B   E
Wild horses keep dragging me away

[Verse]
               E
She watched me drive around her block

        G#m
Getting courage up to stop

   A                 F#m             B    B/A  B/G#  B/F#
To make her one more promise I can't keep

          E                      G#m
The way I love the rodeo I guess I should let her go

  A               F#m                 B
Before I hurt her more than she loves me
[Chorus]
A    E           C#m      B   E    B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away

C#m  E/B       F#m                A             B    B/A  B/G# (F# G# B C#)
      And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday

     A                  G#m
Wild horses just stay wild

        A              Am
and her heart is all I break

     E           C#m      B   E   B/D#  C#m  
Wild horses keep dragging me away

A    E           C#m      B   E    B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away

C#m  E/B       F#m                A             B    B/A  B/G# (F# G# B C#)
      And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday

     A                  G#m
Wild horses just stay wild

        A              Am
and her heart is all I break

     E           C#m      B   E
Wild horses keep dragging me away  (Fade)
