 B               E                   B
I wake up early, before the Sun rises high
   B              E       C#m                     F#
Headed to the rodeo, with my horse and my cowboy pride
           B           E            B
I'm a cowboy, with a heart that's true
  B              E                 F#                           B
Askin' for protection, from Our Lady Aparecida, to watch over me, too

Our Lady Aparecida, intercede for me
                F#                                       B
By the love of Jesus, protect me in this rodeo, y'all, please
    F#        E           B
Fierce bull, don't trample me
 B                   F#              E
Protect my kin, my friends, and my family

         B               E                B
I ride the bull, with courage and skill
   B              E      C#m             F#
But I know I can fall, and take a mighty spill
                 B        E            B
That's why I'm askin', Our Lady Aparecida

To protect me, and keep me safe from harm, y'hear?

Fierce bull, don't trample me

Protect my kin, my friends, and my family

I know life's full, of challenges and strife
           B       E         C#               F#
And the rodeo's a test, of courage and cowboy life
      F#        B                  E        B
But with the protection, of Our Lady Aparecida
    F#        B           C#m               F#      B
I know I can face, any obstacle, y'all, I ain't afraid

Our Lady Aparecida, intercede for me
