SONG: WHEN THE RODEO IS OVER (WHERE DOES THE COWBOY GO?) ARTIST: TANYA TUCKER TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] C C [Verse]
    C
He got down out of the cattle truck

        F        C
In the Amarillo night

    C
He looked up at the Texas sky

     Em
And thought of his last ride

      F               C
He'd trade all his tomorrows

           G                C
For eight seconds one more time

            C
He could'a made World Champion Cowboy

         G              C    C
Back in nineteen sixty nine
[Verse]
    C
He thanked the driver for the ride

        F               C
And he closed the semi door

     C
And limped across the parking lot

     Em
To another liquor store

    F             C
He held onto the bottle

       Dm              C
As he counted out his change

        C
And he felt like some old saddle bronc

            G             C
Who'd been turned out on the range
[Chorus]
          F
When the rodeo is over

       C              F
Where does the cowboy go?

       Dm
Never thought it'd be his last ride

          G
Till the last time he got throw'd

           F
When your heart can't take the losin'

          C                F
And your knees can't take the blows

          C
When the rodeo is over,

       G              F
Where does the cowboy go?

                      C    F   C   F
Where does the cowboy go?
[Break]
 Am
Whiskey on his breath

        Em
And the age in his eyes

       F                   C
He'll hitch a ride on the interstate

     Dm    C       G      G
And fade into the sunrise
[Verse]
        C
Now, Sedona, she's a vortex

           F                C
But she's sweeter than the coast

           C
He smokes cigarettes he can't afford

     Em
And whistles to a ghost

     F
His boots belong to memory

         C           F
And his spurs belong to rust

          C
He'll be picking up his turquoise

               G              C
And leave the buckles in the dust
[Chorus]
          F
When the rodeo is over

       C              F
Where does the cowboy go?

          Dm
He never thought it'd be his last ride

          G
Till the last time he got throw'd

           F
When your heart can't take the losin'

          C                F
And your knees can't take the blows

          C
When the rodeo is over

      G              Am
Where do the cowboys go?
[Outro]
          C
When the rodeo is over

       G             C
Where does the cowboy go?
