He plays this capo 4, but I think it works better for one guitar playing on capo
2. To play capo four, The D is a C and so on… To play it with no capo, the D is an
E and so on…
 
*Use a clamp capo on 2 and leave the E string open. ADGBE will be capo 2 with the
top E left open, so you’re playing in D position (resembling playing in drop D tuning).*
 
(One other note: Play the high E string open for that hammer-on for the Bm)

Intro
D                                  Bm
In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
            A                           G
They had to carry away that brave young man
         D                                  Bm
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan
                  A                            G
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
 
 
Verse 1
        D                            Bm
Lookin' back it doesn't seem so long ago
       A                              G
He was bigger than life, God rest his soul
       D                              Bm
Why he died that day is hard to understand
                   A                              G
Right there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
 
 
Chorus
            A                                 G
So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while
        D                             Bm
And take time to remember that cowboy's smile
         A                                  G
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan
                  D                           Bm        A
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

Verse 2
D                                  Bm
Gold buckles on a shelf collecting dust
          A                              G
Still his memory shines inside of all of us
     D                                Bm
Some miss their hero, some miss their friend
            A                                   G
His mom and daddy long to see their little boy again
 
 
Chorus
         A                                 G
So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while
        D                             Bm
And take time to remember that cowboy's smile
         A                                  G
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan
                  D                           Bm        A
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
 
 
Outro
D                                  Bm
In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
            A                           G
They had to carry away that brave young man
         D                                        Bm
If you're washed in the blood someday you'll see him again
                       A                           G
And it won't be in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
