[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ The cattle prowl and the coyotes howl [Db] out on that great [Ab] divide.
[Db] I've never done no wrong, [Ab] just singing a [Bb] song as down the trail [Eb] I ride. _
[Ab] _ Rattlesnakes rattle at the prairie dogs, [Gb] you hear that mournful [Ab] tune.
[Db] It's roundup time, [Ab] away out west, [Bb] when the cactus is [Eb] in bloom.
[Ab] _ Daylight comes and the cowhands yell, [Db] they call out every man.
[Ebm] I throw my [Ab] saddle on [Eb] my old cow horse and drink my coffee from [Ab] a can.
The sun goes down on the cattle trail [Db] and I'm gazing at the moon. _
[Eb] It's roundup time, away out west, when the cactus is [Ab] in bloom.

We don't have cold weather, [Gb] it never [Ab] snows or rains.
[Db] That is [Ab] where the sun shines best, [Bb] out on the western [Eb] plains.
[Ab] Some of the boys have gone away, [Db] but they'll be [Ab] back soon.
[Db] For it's roundup [Ab] time, away out west, [Bb] when the cactus is in [Eb] bloom.
