Chris Ledoux - National finals rodeo

A ^Bbrodeo's just a rodeo after ^Ebriding several years From ^Fol' Cheyenne to ^EbHouston they never ^Fcause too much ^Bbfear But ^Bblet me tell you about one that will ^Ebchill your very soul It ^Fhappens in De-^Ebcember when it's ^Fsnowin' and it's ^Bbcold

In ^BbOklahoma City there's a ^Ebbuilding of concrete It's ^Fwhere the toughest ^Ebstockin' men will ^Fgather and ^Bbcompete The ^Bbpoints have all been tallied and the ^Ebstock has all been brought We've ^Fgot just two more ^Ebhours cause it s^Ftarts at eight o'^Bbclock

It's the ^EbFinals the N.F.R. the Series of the ^Bbsport Hey ^Ebrookie can you take ten head ^Ebhave you got the ^Fheart You ^Ebthink you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the ^Bbend When that ^Ebfinal whistle ^Fblows and the stock's all in the ^Bbpen

The ^Bbcoliseum's quiet except for the ^Ebsounds Of ^Fcowboys getting ^Ebready and the ^Fworkmen of the ^Bbgrounds The ^Bbcowboys ask each other, ^Ebwhat each other's got "D^Fid you draw ol' ^EbNecklace or ^Fpluck old Double-^BbOught

The ^Bbtension now is mounting as the ^Ebcrowd starts pouring in A ^Fshiver goes all ^Ebthrough me like ^Ffrom a cold cold ^Bbwind I ^Bbhear the horses comin' runnin' ^Ebdown the alleyway They're ^Fsnortin' and a ^Ebblowin' as men ^Fshut the sliding ^Bbgates

It's the ^EbFinals the N.F.R. the Series of the ^Bbsport Hey ^Ebrookie can you take ten head ^Ebhave you got the ^Fheart You ^Ebthink you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the ^Bbend When that ^Ebfinal whistle ^Fblows and the stock's all in the ^Bbpen

We had ^Bbtoo much time a while ago but ^Ebnot enough time now The ^FAnthem is now ^Ebover the grand ^Fentry's going ^Bbout I ^Bbsit there on my bronc I'm ^Ebready and I wait I ^Fhear a chute gate ^Ebopen so I ^Flook out through the ^Bbgate

A ^Bbhorse comes boiling out and ^Ebblows up at the roof And ^Fthen there comes ^Ebanother kicking ^Flike a curly ^Bbwolf I ^Bbhear the chute boss holler through the ^Ebyelling of the crowd He ^Fsays there's one a-^Ebhead of you so you'd ^Fbetter get screwed ^Bbdown

It's the ^EbFinals the N.F.R. the Series of the ^Bbsport Hey ^Ebrookie can you take ten head ^Ebhave you got the ^Fheart You ^Ebthink you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the ^Bbend When that ^Ebfinal whistle ^Fblows and the stock's all in the ^Bbpen

I ^Bbnod my head, I'm in a daze the ^Ebhorse goes boiling out I ^Frun my spurrs in-^Ebto his neck and ^Fthen I drag 'em ^Bbout My ^Bbmind is in a blur my ^Ebeyes are seeing red The ^Fflank catch slams in-^Ebto my back, his ^Frump bangs on my ^Bbhead From ^Bbsomewhere in the background I can ^Ebhear a buzzer sound My ^Fhand's jerked from the ^Ebriggin and I ^Fcrash into the ^Bbground I ^Ebstumble to my feet as I ^Bbstagger to the wall I ^Fwonder to my-^Ebself is it ^Freally worth it ^Bball

It's the ^EbFinals the N.F.R. the Series of the ^Bbsport Hey ^Ebrookie can you take ten head ^Ebhave you got the ^Fheart You ^Ebthink you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the ^Bbend When that ^Ebfinal whistle ^Fblows and the stock's all in the ^Bbpen
