One Less Tornado
[E]Billy John grew up j[A]ust west of W[E]aco
He used to b[E]are knuckle fight just for f[A]un
He was as wild as a Texas t[E]ornado
And a [F#]bull ridin' son of a g[B]un
Then one S[E]aturday n[A]ight down in J[E]asper
He drew a b[E]ull they called Dust Devil R[A]age
And that t[A]wenty-two hundred pound h[E]ammer
Laid Billy J[B]ohn in his gr[E(E7)]ave
CHORUS
Now there's o[A]ne less tornado in T[E]exas
And a [A]saddle that's empty tonight[B]
There's one h[A]ell of a cowboy in H[E]eaven[A]
At that b[E]ig rodeo[B] in the s[C#m]ky
[A]Ohh that b[E]ig rodeo[B] in the s[E]ky
My granddaddy rode in the thirty's
He must have really been somethin' back then
'Cause all of my life I've heard stories
About the buckle he didn't quite win
Although he never got over his losing
He's a bonafied hero to me
And Lord knows I'm sure gonna miss him
But I know he's in good company
CHORUS X 4
