^A Let's have a ^A7 hand for that young ^D cowboy 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 ^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
