(Aaron Barker, Erv Woolsey) Performed by George Strait Transcribed by Jason Neus ([email protected]) Capo I [Intro] D [Verse]
D                          G
Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine

D                          A                G
She heard his voice on the other end of the line

                      A
She wondered what was wrong this time

D                       G
She never knew what his calls might bring

       D                        A
With a cowboy like him it could be anything

        G                   A                        D     A
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind

D                               G
He said, it's cold out here and I’m all alone

D                           A                     G
I didn't make the short go, again, and I’m coming home

                 A
I know I’ve been away too long

D                       G
I never got a chance to write or call

      D                      A
And I know this rodeo's been hard on us all

G                         A                        D
But I’ll be home soon and honey is there something wrong
[Chorus]
G                     A
She said don't bother comin' home

       Bm7      A             G
By the time you get here I’ll be long gone

        D                   A                   G      A
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man

G                      A
He said I’m sorry it's come down to this

        Bm7     A              G
There's so much about you that I’m gonna miss

         D                 A                      G
But it's alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

      D                A                      G          A
Gotta go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
[Verse]
D                           G
He left that phone danglin' off the hook

D                             A                G
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look

             A
Then he just walked away

D                              G
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line

D                                 A
With a little luck he could still get there in time

G                    A                            D
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say
[Chorus]
G                     A
She said don't bother comin' home

       Bm7      A             G
By the time you get here I’ll be long gone

        D                   A                   G      A
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man

G                      A
He said I’m sorry it's come down to this

        Bm7     A              G
There's so much about you that I’m gonna miss

         D                 A                      G
But it's alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

      D                A                      G          A
Gotta go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
[Verse]
D                       G
She never knew what his calls might bring

       D                        A
With a cowboy like him it could be anything

        G                   A                        D    
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind
