Intro

[Gsus4] [C/G]

Verse 1

[C]Her telephone rang 'bout a [F]quarter to nine
[C]She heard his voice on [G]the other end [F]of the line
She wondered what [G]was wrong this time
[C]She never knew what his calls might [F]bring
[C]With a cowboy like him it could be [G]anything
[F]And she always expected the [G]worst in the back of [C]her mind

Verse 2

[C]He said, 'It's cold out here and [F]I'm all alone,
[C]I didn't make the short go again [G]and I'm [F]coming home.
I know I've [G]been away too long.
[C]I never got a chance to [F]write or call
[C]And I know this rodeo [G]has been hard on us all
[F]But I'll be home soon [G]and honey is there something [C]wrong?'

Chorus

[F]She said, 'Don't bother [G]comin' home.
[Am]By the time you [G]get here I'll [F]be long gone.
[C]There's somebody new and he [G]sure ain't no rodeo [F]man.'
[G][F]He said, 'I'm sorry it's [G]come down to this.
[Am]There's so much about [G]you that [F]I'm gonna miss.
[C]But it's alright baby, if [G]I hurry I can still make [F]Cheyenne.
[C]Gotta go now baby, if [G]I hurry I can still make [F]Cheyenne.'

Verse 3

[C]He left that phone danglin' [F]off the hook
[C]Then slowly turned around and [G]gave it one last [F]look
[G]Then he just walked [C]away
[C]He aimed his truck toward that [F]Wyoming line
[C]With a little luck he could still get there [G]in time
[F]And in that Cheyenne wind [G]he could still hear her [C]say

Chorus

Outro

[C]She never knew what his calls might [F]bring
[C]With a cowboy like him it could be [G]anything
[F]And she always expected the [G]worst in the back of [C]her mind
