Rodeo Chords by Ray Amy

Tuning: Standard

G                                  B7
She comes down to Georgia to dance across my kitchen floor,
       Em                                  A
Leavin' black marks on linoleum, a country song on the radio.

G                                   D  
  I am just a rodeo calf with tender feet and sewn on horns
   Em                             A
And love is a kindness that I've never known before,
                    C           D       C
I've never known before.

              G                              B7
She say's "I'm bound to Carolina to join the kids in 'Truth or Dare'."
       Em                                     A
And she laughs and says its just a game when I tell her that I'm scared.

 G                       D        
I am just a dog waitin' at the kitchen door,
Em                             A
 Love is a kindness that I've never known before,
                C         D         C
I've never known before.



G             D
Make it last, make it stay
        C                     Am
Can you hold on long enough to make this pay.
                  C   D   C
Just to make it pay. 
             G                             B7
She said," My daddy was a grifter and I was in my momma's way,
    Em                              A          
So I drifted for a while, because I could not stand to stay."
                    
              G                            D
And she said, "Love is a kindness that I've never understood."
             Em                            A         
I said, "I'll give it to you willingly, its something you deserve,
                  C          D    C
Its something you deserve."
    
        G                      D
And I'll make it last, I'll make it stay.
          Em                       A   
If you can hold on long enough I can make this pay.
      G                                 D 
'Cause I am just a calf with tender feet and sewn on horns,     
Em                       A                    C   G
Love is a prize waitin' on her at the rodeo.
