E                          A
Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
E                           B                A
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
                       B
She wondered what was wrong this time
E                       A
She never knew what his calls might bring
        E                       B
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
         A                   B                       B     E  Bsus4
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind. 
E                                A
He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone,
E                           B                   A
I didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home.
                   B
I know I've been away too long.
E                       A
I never got a chance to write or call
E                              B
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
         A                 B                         E
But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"

[Chorus:]
A                        B
She said, "Don't bother comin' home.
        C#m       B            A
By the time you get here I'll be long gone.
         E                   B
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
A                        B
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this.
        C#m        B            A
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
          E                  B                         A
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
      E                  B                      E        B
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
E                           A
He left that phone danglin' off the hook
E                             B                A
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
              B
Then he just walked away
E                              A
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
       E                          B
With a little luck he could still get there in time
    A                 B                           E
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say.

[Chorus:]
A                        B
She said, "Don't bother comin' home.
        C#m       B            A
By the time you get here I'll be long gone.
         E                   B
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
A                         B
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this.
        C#m        B            A
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
          E                  B                         A
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
      E                  B                      E        F
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.

E                        A
She never knew what his calls might bring
        E                       B
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
         A                   B                       B     E  
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.
