Gene Watson – This Circus That You Call A Rodeo (Guitar)

    C                                   F                             C
You pulled up in that limousine, said, "Cowboy, let me take you for a ride"

                           F                                C
It was obvious to me I was something new that you had never tried

     F                                                          C       Am
So I gathered up my saddle, took my hat off and I dusted off my clothes

    Dm                                G7                           C
And crawled into the backseat of this circus that you call the rodeo

  C                             F                                   C
I spent a week in heaven making love and drinking beer right by the pool

                                      F                               C
Every night, a different party, I was fitting in with all those other fools

    F                                                                C    Am
But too much of a good thing ain't no good thing and a cowboy oughta know

    Dm                                  G7                           C
The difference in the new thing at this circus that you call the rodeo

           F                                                         C
You said, "Ride, cowboy, ride, we're bulletproof and almost ten feet tall"

         F                                                              C    Am
I said, "Maybe you are, but I'm whipped and I can't hardly even ride at all"

            Dm                     G7                           C
Ain't there any letting go in this circus that you call the rodeo?

     C                                F                                  C
I've done a lot of crazy things, this may not be the worst, but it comes close

                                                 F                               C
I've busted bulls and they've busted me and I've paid the price for everything I rode

       F                                                                  C    Am
And it breaks my heart to tell you, but I'm leaving this old dog and pony show

     Dm                                G7                           C
I've had all that I can handle in this circus that you call the rodeo

           F                                                         C
You said, "Ride, cowboy, ride, we're bulletproof and almost ten feet tall"

         F                                                              C    Am
I said, "Maybe you are, but I'm whipped and I can't hardly even ride at all"

            Dm                     G7                           C
Ain't there any letting go in this circus that you call the rodeo?

            Dm                     G7                           C
