[D] _ [A] The band would play [D] the anthem [A] and [D] the _ clowns fell [E] down in jest
And [A] _ all the [D] people saw [A] again _ [Bm] the winning [E] of the West _
_ [A] Our stomachs full [D] of knuffle and [A] our hearts were [D] full of hopes _
_ [C#m] _ We buckled on [A] our leggings _ [Bm] and we rosined [E] up our robes
_ _ _ _ [A] And we started going [D] down [A] the road [D] the spring of [E] 74
_ [A] If _ I had me [D] another [A] trade [Bm] I wouldn't ride them [E] bulls no more
_ [A] Since Charlie died [D] I've tried to forget [A] that day at old [D] Cheyenne
_ _ [C#m] _ Ready?
[A] Then leave your light on, darling _ [Bm] I'm gonna make it [E] if I can
_ _ _ Cause [F#m] it gets inside your blood, _ [D] gets _ inside your mind
[G]
[D] The [F#m] _ only way of life, _
_ [D] there ain't no other kind
[G] _
[D] _ [F#m] All my thoughts roll back to you, [D] I hope you'll _ understand _
[C#m] _ [Bm] Ready?
_ Leave your light on, darling [E] I'm gonna make it if I can
[F#m]
[G#m] The [A] _ place that's known as [D] _ [A] Cheyenne is called [D] _ the daddy [E] of them all _
_ [A] The one our fathers [D] sang [A] about _ [Bm] at the roundups [E] in the fall
[A]
And _ Charlie Dew, [D] that spinning bull, [A] Lord, everything [D] went wrong _
_ [C#m] _ Got him [A] in an ambulance, _ [Bm] left me here to sing [E] this song
_ _ _ _ _ [A] I tip right on [D] a joint, _ [A] _ _ [D] but I drink before [E] I ride
_ [A] That bottle brings [D] me [F#m] courage, I [Bm] believe I'm damn near [E] out of pride
_ [A] _ I think I'd get [D] me a factory [A] job if you'd help me make [D] my stand
_ [C#m] Oh, ready? _
[A] Leave your light on, darling [Bm] I'm gonna make it [E] if I can
_ Cause _
[Em] [F#m] it gets inside your blood, _
_ [D] gets inside your mind
[G] _
[D] _ [F#m] The only way of life, _
