I hope we'll see him up in [E7] Fargo Or somewhere farther down the [A] line [A7] This time he sure drew a [D] bad one One that nobody could [A] ride By the way he pulled his [E7] hat on You know he'd be there for the [A] fight CHORUS: And it's the [A7] classic contra- [D] diction [GD] The unavoidable aff- [A] liction. And it don't take much to pre- [E7] dict, son The way it always [A] goes [A7] 'Cause one day she says she [D] loves you [GD] And the next she'll be tired [A] of you N' push'll always come to [E7] shove you On that midnight rode- [A] o INSTRUMENTAL He almost made it [A7] to the [D] buzzer Somehow he gave up in the [A] end He put one hand around the [E7] other And let that pick-up man on [A] in [A7] It was his last chance to [D] ride it Now he'll have to move a-[A] long But he knows back in his [E7] mind, that He won't be away for [A] long CHORUS So let's have a [A7] hand for that young [D] cowboy [GD] And wish him better luck next [A] time I hope we'll see him up in [E7] Fargo Or somewhere farther down the [A] line Thanks for help on the lyrics to: ah827@rgfn.epcc.Edu (Gene L.
