[Verse]
                   C    G/B
He was runnin' on fumes
 Am              F        C
Laid up in that hospital room
      G/B              Am  F
Never seen him look so old
 
                      C   G/B
He don't know how to quit
               Am                   F                 C
No, he'd keep givin' her hell right up 'til the very end
                  G/B          Am   F
'Cause that's the only way he knows
 
             Dm                                  F
And I could feel the truth in his old calloused hands
         Dm                    C                F
When he took his last breath, looked at me and said
 
 
[Chorus]
 C            G/B      F
This ain't my last rodeo
     C                 G/B                  F
No, it's just time for this old man to get this show on the road
 
 C                   G/B
When life throws you off your saddle
 Am7             G
Don't think you lost the battle
      F                C/E          Dm7  Dm7
Just climb back up and turn another row
 
     F                      C/E              Dm7
The good Lord might want to call this cowboy home
 
                   G       C
But this ain't my last rodeo

[Verse]
           C    G/B
He said a man is
        Am7                     F                   C      G/B
Only as good as the woman that he's got standin' beside him
                F
So I thank the good Lord every day
 
        C      G/B
'Cause mine is
 Am7                    F                C
Somewhere up there and waitin' on me to ride in
G/B                 F   F
Boy that'll be the day
 
    Dm7                              F
And I'm so close I can smell her perfume
   Dm7                         C            F
And I can't wait to watch her light up the room
 
 
[Chorus]
C                G/B      F
So this ain't my last rodeo
     C                 G/B                  Am               F
No, it's just time for this old man to get this show on the road
 
 C                   G/B
When life throws you off your saddle
 Am7             G
Don't think you lost the battle
      F                C/E          Dm7  Dm7
Just climb back up and turn another row
 
     F                      C/E              Dm7
The good Lord might want to call this cowboy home
 
                   G       F
But this ain't my last rodeo
 
 
[Break]
          C/E
I know my time is comin' soon
   Dm7
So all I'm askin' you to do
    C         G
Is bury me in my boots
 
 
[Chorus]
 C                   G/B      Am
'Cause this ain't my last rodeo
     C                 G/B                  Am               F
No, it's just time for this old man to get this show on the road
 
 C                   G/B
When life throws you off your saddle
Am                 G
It don't mean you lost the battle
    F                    C/E           Dm7 F C
So don't shed a tear for me now when I go
 
     F                      C/E              Dm7
The good Lord might want to call this cowboy home
 
               G       C  G/B F
This ain't my last rodeo
 
                       C  G/B F
This ain't my last rodeo
                    G  C
This ain't my last rodeo
