Rodeo Wind

C                        F
Even as she sleeps, she feels his 
restless turning
C                                 
As he struggles with an old dream 
           G
all night long
     C                    F
And when she awakes, she turns to 
reassure him
    C                      G
She whispers to a shadows and finds 
him gone

[Verse 2]
C                      F
Way out in the barn a single lamp is
 burning
     C                             
She faintly hears a radio play a 
              G
sad old cowboy song
     C                           
She watches as he works, with his 
  F
riggins and his saddle
   C                               
A sudden chill runs through her in 
     G                     C
the still of the not quite dawn

[Chorus]
              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind
                       G         
That blows through his soul, when 
             C
the summer begins
                 F               
When the winter snow falls, he'll 
            C
come back again

F                     C     G   
But his heart always drifts, on 
           C
the rodeo wind

[Verse 3]
C
One sure way to lose him
      F
Is to try and make him stay
    C                              
He can't explain he don't even know
 G
 himself
        C
But the force that drew her to him
        F
Has just gotta break away
        C
And the sound of the road and the 
rolling wheel
       G                C
Is the only thing that helps

[Chorus]
              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind
                       G         
That blows through his soul, when 
             C
the summer begins
                 F               
When the winter snow falls, he'll 
            C
come back again
F                     C     G   
But his heart always drifts, on 
           C
the rodeo wind

[Bridge]

Am                G              
Now it all makes sense, those 
               F             C
signs she's been seeing all along
Am              G           F   
She feels like such a fool, a 
              C
woman ought to know
F                             
Just the other day, she saw him 
  C                  F
sittin' out on the south fence
                   C             G
Throwing stones at prairie dogs, 
                    C
and staring down the road

[Chorus]
              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind
                       G         
That blows through his soul, when 
             C
the summer begins
                 F               
When the winter snow falls, he'll 
            C
come back again
F                     C     G   
But his heart always drifts, on 
           C
the rodeo wind
