F                         C          Bb       C
Well a note said, "you've had time to think about it
F             C                  Bb    C
Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded
             F          C        Bb       C
You're not lookin' for anything permanent here
       F       C                 Bb      C
So my Rodeo's packed and it's in goodbye gear"

[Verse 2]
   F      C           Bb       C
So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner
    F            C               Bb            C
Her sister works there and she'd know where to find her
    F         C       Bb           C
She said, you did not hear this from me
         F             C              Bb           C
All I'll say is mama's got that place out in Monterrey

[Chorus]
G   C   D          G         G          C          D       
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
          G         C                   D       G
She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know
         G            C          D    G
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
      Em             D         C
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo

[Verse 3]
F         C             Bb        C
Two towns back I showed your photograph
        F           C         Bb        C
And the gas station man just started to laugh
    F            C               Bb        C
She said I might see you in this bucket of rust
         F         C                Bb            C
And said good luck boy, just follow that cloud of dust

[Chorus]
G   C   D          G         G          C          D       
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
          G         C                   D       G
She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know
         G            C          D    G
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
      Em             D         C
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo

Am     G/B                 C                   
Maybe I was straddling the fence just like she said
Bb          F           C
It took her leaving to get it through my head

[Verse 4]
          F        C         Bb           C
She's the one and only, it's over, that's it
    F                 C            Bb          C
I'm committed, I'm in love and I'm desperate
       F          C            Bb          C
She's a good ways gone but I'm closin' the gap
     F            C               Bb         C
If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map

[Chorus]
G   C   D          G         G          C          D       
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
          G         C                   D       G
She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know
         G            C          D    G
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
      Em             D         C
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo

G   C   D          G         G          C          D       
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
          G         C                   D       G
She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know
         G            C          D    G
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
      Em             D         C
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo

G   C   D          G         G          C          D       
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
          G         C                   D       G
She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know
         G            C          D    G
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
      Em                      C    G
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
