Verse 1. 
E               G 
Rollin' down a long highway 
A                        G 
Out through New Mexico 
E                  G 
Driftin' down to Santa Fe 
           A                G 
To ride a bull in a rodeo 
E                  G 
He's hooked on a feelin 
A                             G 
Addicted to a natural high 
E                       G 
Don't know why its appealin 
         A 
All he knows is he's got to ride 
 
Chorus: 
C        D         E 
Hes addicted to danger 
C            D          E 
Ruled by passion and pride 
    C        D              E 
To pain and fear hes no stranger 
         C                  D 
But his lust needs to be satisfied

E                     G 
Getting hooked up in back of the chutes 
A                       G 
Makes the rosin burn  
E                          G 
Hes got his spurs on the heels of his boots 
           A                  G 
Hes at the point of no return 
E                    G 
Climbin' over that shoot gate 
A                        G 
He settles down inside 
E                 G 
The tensions risin 
 
But he cant wait 
           A 
untill they turn that bull outside 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
A                      E 
Hooked on an 8 second ride

Hooked on an 8 second ride
