When The Rodeo Comes To Town Cifras

*I prefer playing C/G, but a standard C will fit the bill too if you don't alternate bass strums.*
 
 
[Intro]
C/G C/G F C G C/G
 
[Verse 1]
C/G                                                                       G
Well most of the time things are pretty sublime, In this little one-horse town
                                                                      F       G        C/G
Well they close all the stores, and they roll up the streets when the evenin' sun goes down
                                                                            F
But the Fourth of July, flags will be flyin' high, as folks come from miles around
                                      C/G                          G                  C/G
They'll be roarin' all night till the dawn's early light, when the big rodeo comes to town
 
 
[Verse 2]
C/G
Well there ain't no top names in rodeo fame
                   G
No Tibbs' or Larry Mahans
G
Just some local Cowboys, out to make em' some noise
         F    G               C/G
But they know everyone in the stands
C/G
They're lean and they're wild, with tobacco-stained smiles
                                   F
And they don't care if they make a dime
                                    C/G
If they win or they lose, well they don't give a hoot
        G7                      C/G
They're out just to have a good time
 
 
[Chorus]
        F                                                                                 C/G
There's Cowboys and ladies, and old folks and babies, and young girls with stars in their eyes
G                                           F             G           C/G
Flashy Bronc riders and western old-timers, tellin' their stories and lies
F
There's cold beer and brandy, and pink cotton candy
                                   C/G
When it's over they'll all head on down
       G                                                                  C/G
To the rodeo dance for some midnight romance, when the big rodeo comes to town

[Verse 3]
                                                                               G
The band's playin' loud to that dancehall crowd, as boots stir the dust on the floor
                                                    F     G                C/G
At the bar they're playin' old Willy and Waylon, as beers disappear by the score
                                                                          F
But hangovers I'll bet, they'll soon forget, when next year comes rollin' around
                            C/G                              G                C/G
They'll be at it again with all of their friends, when the big rodeo comes to town
 
 
[Chorus]
F                                                                                          C/G
There'll Cowboys and ladies, and old folks and babies, and young girls with stars in their eyes
G                                           F             G           C/G
Flashy Bronc riders and western old-timers, tellin' their stories and lies
F
There'll be cold beer and brandy, and pink cotton candy
                                   C/G
When it's over they'll all head on down
       G                                                                  C/G
To the rodeo dance for some midnight romance, when the big rodeo comes to town
