Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

G

I hear the sound of sorrow in the wind

C

G

Blowing down from every mile I’ve ever been

C

G

Calling me out on some road that just won’t end

D7

Where the sweetheart rides the rodeo again

G

C

G

A thousand nights a thousand towns I took the bows

D7

There is no compensation for me now

G

C

G

Out along the highway where the west was won

D7

G

No matter how fast I ride or far I run

C

G

Waiting for the sweetheart of the rodeo

C

They’re comin’ down from Tonopah to Tupelo

G

She’ll come to town to ride the radio

D7

Like she’s slidin’ down the walls of Jericho

G

There goes the sweetheart of the rodeo

C

G

I stepped into the light you left behind

C

G

I stood there where all the world could see me shine

C

G

Oh I was on my way to you to make you mine

D7

G

But I took the longest road that I could find
