Capo on first fret 
 
D5                                           G5 
Her telephone rang about a quarter to nine 
D5                                          A5                      G5 
She heard his voice on the other end of the line 
                                           A5 
She wondered what was wrong this time 
D5                                        G5 
She never knew what his calls might bring 
                 D5                                 A5 
With a cowboy like him it could be anything  
                  G5                              A5                                    D5           A5 
And she always expected the worse in the back of her mind 
D5                                            G5 
He said its cold out here and I?m all alone. 
  D5                                      A5                                   G5                        
Didn?t make the short go again and I?m coming home 
                                  A5 
I know I?ve been away to long 
D5                                    G5             
I never got a chance to write or call 
             D5                                      A5 
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all 
              G5                              A5                                      D5  
But I?ll be home soon and honey is there something wrong 
 
Chorus: 
G5                                      A5 
She said don?t bother coming home 
D5                                            G5 
By the time you get here I?ll be long gone 
D5                                                  A5                            G5      A5 
There is somebody new and he sure ain?t no rodeo man 
G5                                    A5 
He said I?m sorry it?s come down to this 
D5                                                   G5 
There is so much about you that I?m gonna miss 
D5                                       A5                                      G5 
But it?s alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne 
D5                                      A5                                      G5 
Got to go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne 
 
 
D5                                                 G5 
He left that phone dangling off the hook  
D5                                               A5                      G5 
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look 
                           A5 
Then he just walked away 
D5                                                   G5 
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line  
                     D5                         A5 
With a little luck he could still get there in time 
        G5                           A5                                    D5           A5 
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say 
 
Chorus: 
G5                                      A5 
She said don?t bother coming home 
D5                                            G5 
By the time you get here I?ll be long gone 
D5                                                  A5                            G5             A5 
There is somebody new and he sure ain?t no rodeo man 
G5                                    A5 
He said I?m sorry it?s come down to this 
D5                                                   G5 
There is so much about you that I?m gonna miss 
D5                                       A5                                      G5 
But it?s alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne 
D5                                      A5                                      G5                A5 
Got to go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne 
 

D5                                        G5 
She never knew what his calls might bring 
                 D5                               A5 
With a cowboy like him it could be anything  
                  G5                              A5                                    D5  
And she always expected the worse in the back of her mind
