Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
[Verse]
A
He got down out of the cattle truck
D A
In the Amarillo night
A
He looked up at the Texas sky
E A
And thought of his last ride
D
He'd trade all his tomorrows
A D
For eight seconds one more time
A
Nearly made World Champion Cowboy
E A
Back in nineteen sixty nine
[Verse]
A
He thanked the driver for the ride
D A
And he closed the semi door
A
And limped across the parking lot
E
To a liquor store
D
He held onto the bottle
A
As he counted out his change
A
And he felt like some old saddle bronc
E A
Who'd been turned out on the range
[Chorus]
D
When the rodeo is over
A
Where does the cowboy go?
E
Never thought it'd be his last ride
A
Till the last time he got throw'd
D
When your heart can't take the losin'
A
And your knees can't take the blows
A
When the rodeo is over,
E A
Where does the cowboy go?
E A
Where does the cowboy go?
[Break]
E
Whiskey on his breath
D A
And the age in his eyes
E
He'll hitch a ride on the interstate
D A
And fade into the sunrise
[Chorus]
D
When the rodeo is over
A
Where does the cowboy go?
E
Never thought it'd be his last ride
D A
Till the last time he got throw'd
D
When your heart can't take the losin'
A
And your knees can't take the blows
A
When the rodeo is over
E A
Where Do the cowboys go?
[Verse]
A
Now, Sedona, she's a vortex
D A
But she's sweeter than the coast
E
He smokes cigarettes he can't afford
D A
And whistles to a ghost
D
His boots belong to a memory
A
And his spurs belong to rust
A
He'll be picking up his turquoise
E A
And leave the buckles in the dust
[Chorus]
D
When the rodeo is over
A
Where does the cowboy go?
E
Never thought it'd be his last ride
D A
Till the last time he got throw'd
D
When your heart can't take the losin'
A
And your knees can't take the blows
A
When the rodeo is over
E A
Where Do the cowboys go?
E
When the rodeo is over
D A
Where Do the cowboys go?
[Outro]
E
When the rodeo is over
D A
Where does the cowboy go?
