Rodeo — Garth Brooks
Chords and lyrics for Rodeo by Garth Brooks (key of Em).
Verse 1
[Em]His eyes are cold and restless
[A]His wounds have almost healed
[A]And she'd give half of Texas
[A]Just to change the way he feels
[Em]She knows his love's in Tulsa
[A]And she knows he's gonna go
[Em]Well it ain't no woman flesh and blood
[B]It's that damned old rodeo
Chorus
[Em]Well it's bulls and blood
[Em]It's dust and mud
[A]It's the roar of a Sunday crowd
[Em]It's the white in his knuckles
[Em]The gold in the buckle
[B]He'll win the next go [D]'[B]round
[Em]It's boots and chaps
[Em]It's cowboy hats
[A]It's spurs and latigo
[Em]It's the ropes and the reins
[Em]And the joy and the pain
[B]And they call the thing rodeo
Interlude
[E] [E] [G] [A]
Verse 2
[Em]She does her best to hold him
[A]When his love comes to call
[A]But his need for it controls him
[A]And her back's against the wall
[Em]And it's So long girl I'll see you
[A]When it's time for him to go
[Em]You know the woman wants her cowboy
[B]Like he wants his rodeo
Chorus
[Em]Well it's bulls and blood
[Em]It's dust and mud

Verse 3
[Em]It'll drive a cowboy crazy
[A]It'll drive the man insane
[A]And he'll sell off everything he owns

[Em]And a broken home and some broken bones
[A]Is all he'll have to show
[Em]For all the years that he spent chasin'
[B]This dream they call rodeo

It's the steers and the mud
[B]And they call the thing rodeo
