[Verse 1]
C G
The cattle prowl and the coyotes howl, out on that great divide
C G A7 D7
I never done no wrong just singin' a song, as down the trail I ride
G C G
The rattlesnakes rattle at the prairie dogs, you hear that mournful tune
C G A7 D
It's round-up time a-way out west, when the cactus is in bloom
[Chorus]
G C
Daylight comes and the cowhands yell, they call out every man
D G
I throw my saddle on my old cow horse and drink my coffee from a can
C
The sun goes down on the cattle trail and I'm gazing at the moon
D G
It's round-up time a-way out west, when the cactus is in bloom

[Verse 2]
C G
We don't have cold weather, it never snows or rains
C G A7 D7
That is where the sun shines best, out on the western plains
G C G
Some of the boys are gone away, but they'll be back soon
C G A7 D
For it's round-up time a-way out west, when the cactus is in bloom
[Chorus]
G C
Daylight comes and the cowhands yell, they call out every man
D G
I throw my saddle on my old cow horse and drink my coffee from a can
C
The sun goes down on the cattle trail and I'm gazing at the moon
D D7 G
It's round-up time a-way out west, when the cactus is in bloom
