INTRO: G
G Cadd9 G
I pulled up to the stockyards, runnin' low on self esteem

My body and my heart broken in two
G Cadd9 G
Well this lifestyle of mine has lost the girl of my dreams
D
I'm just a bronc bustin' fool, now he's holding you
CHORUS:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
It's gonna be a blue rodeo
Em C D
And I'll be turning green within there don't ya know
G Cadd9 D
The moon may be silver and the sun could be gold
G G/B Cadd9 D
But it's gonna be a blue rodeo
G
Blue rodeo
It makes a cowboy wonder is it worth the hurt
Another town another bull to blame
While he's in your arms tonight I'll be eating dirt
Holdin' back the tears from two kinds of pain
CHORUS

In every little cafe they play a song about us

A pretty girl who wanted more and the drifter's wonderlust
