Intro Riff:
here he presses on the body with his right and bends the neck a bit.
Verse
(Single strum on electric):
Em E -0-2-3 -> G
I can hear the wind whisper my name
[G]Tellin me its time to head out again
My [D]horses are trailered and the lights are shutdown
Im long overdue for headin outta town
Em E -0-2-3
Gotta fever that they call the rodeo
[G]Just enough winners and make the next show
Some[D]times you make eight sometimes you hit dirt
Go on [C]pin another number to the back of my shirt
Chorus; hammer on bass note to get right sound (2x on C)
And Ill [G]ride that [D]pony [C]fast
Like a [G]cowboy [D]from the [C]past
Be [G]young and [D]wild and [C]free
Like [G]Texas in [D]18[C]80
Just like [G]Texas in [D]1880
(quick thing after this I haven't quite figured out; this is only my guess:)
Em E -0-2-3
Awe, from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome
From [G]New York City down to San Antone
Theres [D]boys that are ridin for legendary fame
And our moneys all gone but they still ride the same
Em E -0-2-3
Our hearts are getting broken and our heads are getting busted
[G]Well always believe in the things that we trusted
Theyll [D]be those nights when glory comes round
And well [C]tip our hats and wave to the crowd
(Chorus)
[D]Someday when youre older someonell see
Em (neck bend)
That buckle hangin there on your belt
[C]Askin just how it felt
