Capo on first fret 
 
D9                                           G 
Her telephone rang about a quarter to nine 
D9                                          A                      G 
She heard his voice on the other end of the line 
                                           A 
She wondered what was wrong this time 
D9                                        G 
She never knew what his calls might bring 
                 D9                                 A 
With a cowboy like him it could be anything  
                  G                              A                                    D9          A 
And she always expected the worse in the back of her mind 
D9                                            G 
He said its cold out here and I?m all alone. 
  D9                                      A                                   G                        
Didn?t make the short go again and I?m coming home 
                                  A 
I know I?ve been away to long 
D9                                    G             
I never got a chance to write or call 
             D9                                      A 
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all 
              G                              A                                      D9  
But I?ll be home soon and honey is there something wrong 
 
Chorus: 
G                                      A 
She said don?t bother coming home 
D9                                            G 
By the time you get here I?ll be long gone 
D9                                                  A                            G      A 
There is somebody new and he sure ain?t no rodeo man 
G                                    A 
He said I?m sorry it?s come down to this 
D9                                                   G 
There is so much about you that I?m gonna miss 
D9                                       A                                      G 
But it?s alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne 
D9                                      A                                      G 
Got to go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne 
 
 
D9                                                 G 
He left that phone dangling off the hook  
D9                                               A                      G 
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look 
                           A 
Then he just walked away 
D9                                                   G 
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line  
                     D9                         A 
With a little luck he could still get there in time 
        G                           A                                    D9           A 
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say 
 
Chorus: 
G                                      A 
She said don?t bother coming home 
D9                                            G 
By the time you get here I?ll be long gone 
D9                                                  A                            G             A 
There is somebody new and he sure ain?t no rodeo man 
G                                    A 
He said I?m sorry it?s come down to this 
D9                                                   G 
There is so much about you that I?m gonna miss 
D9                                       A                                      G 
But it?s alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne 
D9                                      A                                      G                A 
Got to go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne 
 

D9                                        G 
She never knew what his calls might bring 
                 D9                               A 
With a cowboy like him it could be anything  
                  G                              A                                    D9  
And she always expected the worse in the back of her mind
