Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Let's have a hand for that young cowboy
And wish him better luck next time.
I hope we'll see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line
This time he sure drew a bad one
One that nobody could ride
By the way he pulled his hat on
You know he'd be there for the fight
Chorus
And it's the classic contra- diction [GD]
The unavoidable aff- liction.
And it don't take much to pre- dict, son
The way it always goes
'Cause one day she says she loves you [GD]
And the next she'll be tired of you
N' push'll always come to shove you
On that midnight rode- o
Instrumental
He almost made it to the buzzer
Somehow he gave up in the end
He put one hand around the other
And let that pick-up man on in
It was his last chance to ride it
Now he'll have to move a- long
But he knows back in his mind, that
He won't be away for long
Chorus
So let's have a hand for that young cowboy [GD]
And wish him better luck next time
I hope we'll see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line
