Subject: Rodeo Wind (Jerry Jeff Walker) Written by Chris Wall
1. (C) Even as she sleeps, (F) she feels his restless (C) turning
As he struggles with an old dream all night (G) long
And (C) when she awakes, (F) she turns to reassure (C) him
She whispers to a shadow and (G) finds him (C) gone (pause)
Chorus:
Shes losing (F) him to the rodeo (C) wind
That blows through his (G) soul when the summer (C) begins
When the winter (C7) snow (F) falls, he'll come back (C) again (Am)
but his hearts always (G) driftin with the rodeo (C) wind
2. Way down in the barn, (F) a single lamp is (C) burning
She faintly hears a radio play a sad old cowboy (G) song
She (C) watches as he works with (F) the riggin in his (C) saddle
A sudden chill runs through her in (G) the cold of the not quite (C) dawn
(pause)
Chorus:
3. One sure way to lose him, (F) is to try and make him (C) stay
He can't explain he don't even know (G) himself
But the (C) force that drew her to him has (F) just got to be (C) broken
And the sound of the road and the rollin wheels is (G) the only thing that
(C) helps
Bridge:
Now it all makes sense, (F) those signs she's been seeing all (C) along
She feels like a fool, a woman ought to (G) know
Just (C) the other day, she saw him (F) sittin on the south (C) fence
Throwin stones at prarrie dogs and (G) starin down the (C) road (pause)
Chorus:
