Chords

[Intro] C [Verse 1]
         C
It's the same old rodeo

              F
Whenever it appears

    Am
The roughnecks and truck drivers

G                   F
 Pipeliners and engineers

    C
Our dusty little cowtown

                       F
Turned into a boomtown fast

Am
Guess we had to say so long

G                          F
 To our little town of the past

 I've been trying too
[Verse 2]
            C
Now there's big rigs on the highway

                        F
Loaded up with sand and tools

Oil rigs on the skyline

G                      F
 New kids in the schools

The thing about a cowtown

               F

But it always rains eventually

G            F
 And rain it must

  C
I hope that you've been saving

                          F
A little of that boomtown pay

  Am
I hope that you've been holding on

   G                     F
To something for a rainy day

    C
The thing about a cowtown

 There's always a bust
