Rodeo Wind

C                        F
Even as she sleeps, she feels his restless turning
C                                            G
As he struggles with an old dream all night long
     C                    F
And when she awakes, she turns to reassure him
    C                      G
She whispers to a shadows and finds him gone

[Verse 2]
C                      F
Way out in the barn a single lamp is burning
     C                                           G
She faintly hears a radio play a sad old cowboy song
     C                             F
She watches as he works, with his riggins and his saddle
   C                                    G                     C
A sudden chill runs through her in the still of the not quite dawn

[Chorus]
              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind
                       G                      C
That blows through his soul, when the summer begins
                 F                           C
When the winter snow falls, he'll come back again
F                     C     G              C
But his heart always drifts, on the rodeo wind

[Verse 3]
C
One sure way to lose him
      F
Is to try and make him stay
    C                               G
He can't explain he don't even know himself
        C
But the force that drew her to him
        F
Has just gotta break away
        C
And the sound of the road and the rolling wheel
       G                C
Is the only thing that helps

[Chorus]
              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind
                       G                      C
That blows through his soul, when the summer begins
                 F                           C
When the winter snow falls, he'll come back again
F                     C     G              C
But his heart always drifts, on the rodeo wind

[Bridge]

Am                G                             F             C
Now it all makes sense, those signs she's been seeing all along
Am              G           F                 C
She feels like such a fool, a woman ought to know
F                               C                  F
Just the other day, she saw him sittin' out on the south fence
                   C             G                    C
Throwing stones at prairie dogs, and staring down the road

[Chorus]
              F                 C
She's losing him, to the rodeo wind
                       G                      C
That blows through his soul, when the summer begins
                 F                           C
When the winter snow falls, he'll come back again
F                     C     G              C
But his heart always drifts, on the rodeo wind
