INTRO: G  
 
G                                       Cadd9          G 
I pulled up to the stockyards, runnin' low on self esteem 
                               D 
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 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
   D                             Em7 
In every little cafe they play a song about us

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