Jerry Jeff Walker – Rodeo Wind (Guitar)

C                        F
Even as she sleeps, she feels his restless turning

C                                            G
As he struggles with an old dream all night long

     C                    F
And when she awakes, she turns to reassure him

    C                      G
She whispers to a shadows and finds him gone

C                      F
Way out in the barn a single lamp is burning

     C                                           G
She faintly hears a radio play a sad old cowboy song

     C                             F
She watches as he works, with his riggins and his saddle

   C                                    G                     C
A sudden chill runs through her in the still of the not quite dawn

              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind

                       G                      C
That blows through his soul, when the summer begins

                 F                           C
When the winter snow falls, he'll come back again

F                     C     G              C
But his heart always drifts, on the rodeo wind

C 
One sure way to lose him

      F 
Is to try and make him stay

    C                               G
He can't explain he don't even know himself

        C
But the force that drew her to him

        F
Has just gotta break away

        C
And the sound of the road and the rolling wheel

       G                C
Is the only thing that helps

              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind

                       G                      C
That blows through his soul, when the summer begins

                 F                           C
When the winter snow falls, he'll come back again

F                     C     G              C
But his heart always drifts, on the rodeo wind

Am                G                             F             C
Now it all makes sense, those signs she's been seeing all along

Am              G           F                 C
She feels like such a fool, a woman ought to know

F                               C                  F
Just the other day, she saw him sittin' out on the south fence

                   C             G                    C
Throwing stones at prairie dogs, and staring down the road

              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind

                       G                      C
That blows through his soul, when the summer begins

                 F                           C
When the winter snow falls, he'll come back again

F                     C     G              C
But his heart always drifts, on the rodeo wind
