Night Guard

B

[Verse]
F#m             A             E
Forty-four's no age to start again
        F#m                A      
But the bulls were getting tough 
          B
and he was never free of pain
      D                         
While others blew their winnings 
         C#m
getting tanked
F#m             B      A        
Most of his got banked saving 
      E
for the farm

[Verse]
   F#m                 A          
He never thought she'd wait for 
     E
him at all
    F#m              A            
She wanted more than broken bones 
    B
and trophies on the wall
    D                              
But when he quit and finally got 
  C#m
the farm
    F#m          B        A
She ran into his arms and now 
                 E
they've got a kid

[Chorus]
       B                          
He was star of all the rodeos but 
F#m              A
now they rob him blind
        B                       
It took eighteen years of Brahma 
           F#m         A
bulls and life on the line
   B
To get this spread and a decent herd
    D                 A            
But now he spends his time pulling 
E
night guard

[Verse]
   F#m                A           
He told her that he'd got it for 
   E
the game

   F#m       A            B
A "Winnie" 303 with his initials on 
the frame
D                             C#m
Riding in the scabbard at his knee
  F#m              B         A   
Tonight he's gonna see who's 
            E
getting all the stock

[Verse]
F#m              A            E
Seventh one this summer yesterday
F#m            A                 
Half a year of profits gone, and now
B
 there's hell to pay
    D                          
The cops say they know who, but 
            C#m
there's no proof
    F#m            B         A   
The banker hit the roof, and damn
               E
 near took the car

[Chorus]
       B                          
He was star of all the rodeos but 
F#m              A
now they rob him blind
        B                       
It took eighteen years of Brahma 
           F#m         A
bulls and life on the line
   B
To get this spread and a decent herd
    D                 A            
But now he spends his time pulling 
E
night guard

[Instrumental]
F#m A E F#m A B

[Verse]
   F#m            A              
He hears the wire popping by the 
E
road
F#m                  A          
Sees the blacked out Reo coming for 
B
another load
D                                 
This time, it's not one they take 
    C#m
but two
    F#m                 B         
Two minutes and they're through 
  A               E
and laughing in the cab

[Verse]
    F#m              A         
And here will be the end of this 
    E
tonight
       F#m              A      
'Cause all the proof he needs is 
        B
lying steady in his sights
   D                             
It may be just the worst thing he 
       C#m
could do
       F#m            B       
But he squeezes off a few, then 
  A                 E
makes his call to town

[Chorus]
       B                          
He was star of all the rodeos but 
F#m              A
now they rob him blind
        B                       
It took eighteen years of Brahma 
           F#m         A
bulls and life on the line
   B
To get this spread and a decent herd
    D              A          
But now he's doing time pulling 
  E
night guard

[Chorus]
       B                          
He was star of all the rodeos but 
F#m              A
now they rob him blind
        B                       
It took eighteen years of Brahma 
           F#m         A
bulls and life on the line
   B
To get this spread and a decent herd
    D              A          
But now he's doing time pulling 
  E
night guard
