B E B
I hear the sound of sorrow in the wind
E B
Blowing down from every mile I've ever been
E B
Calling me out on some road that just won't end
F#
Where the sweetheart rides the rodeo again
B E B
A thousand nights a thousand towns I took the bows
F#
There is no compensation for me now
B E B
Out along the highway where the west was won
F# B
No matter how fast I ride or far I run
E B
Waiting for the sweetheart of the rodeo
E
They're comin' down from Tonopah to Tupelo
F# B
She'll come to town to ride the radio
F#
Like she's slidin' down the walls of Jericho
B
There goes the sweetheart of the rodeo
B E B
I stepped into the light you left behind
E B
I stood there where all the world could see me shine
E B
Oh I was on my way to you to make you mine
F# B
But I took the longest road that I could find
E B
Waiting for the sweetheart of the rodeo
E
They're comin' down from Tonopah to Tupelo
F# B
She'll come to town to ride the radio
F#
Like she's slidin' down the walls of Jericho
B
There goes the sweetheart of the rodeo
