[Verso 1]
C
In a lonely one room cabin,
C G G
on a little piece of land he used to own,
G G
in an old wooden rocker a bent
C C
and grey haired cowboy sits alone
C
with only memories to lean on
C F Dm
and a faithful, sad eyed dog to call his friend.
C
He’s outlived a hundred cowboys
G C C
and he knows that time is slowly closing in.
[Refrão]
F G
But in a puff of smoke from a home corn cob pipe
C C
he sees the highlights of his yesterdays.
F G
When an eager strong young cowboy rode the worst of broncs
C C
in a smooth and graceful kind of way.
C C
And for a moment he no longer feels the aches and pains
F Dm
that age has brought to torture him.
C
In his heart he’s still the champion,
G C C
he’s yesterdays rodeo man.
[Verso 2]
C C
On a table in the corner lay the buckles
G G
that he won so long ago.
G G
Now, they’re tarnished worn and dusty but for a lifetimes work
C C
they’re all he’s got to show.
C
He can’t admit that he’s unhappy
C F Dm
or that things had been all that he had planned.
C
'Cos in his heart he’s still the champion,
G C C
he’s yesterdays rodeo man.
[Verso 3]
C
There’s an old faded picture
C G G
on the fireplace and when it meets his eye.
G
A lump comes to his throat and
G C C
by the flickering of the firelight he cries.
C
The only life he’s known once made
C F Dm
a lovely dark haired lady say goodbye.
C
And after forty years of loneliness
G C C
he sits alone and still can’t reason why.
[Refrão] End
