Let's have
F 
a hand for that young cowboy
C 
G 
And wish him better luck next time
C 
G 
And hope we see him up in Fargo
C 
Or somewhere farther down the line
F 
This time he sure drew a bad one,
C 
one that nobody could write
G 
But by the way he pulled his hat on,
C 
you knew he'd be there for the fight
Dm 
C 
F 
And it's the classic contradiction,
Bb

the unavoidable affliction
G 
Am 
G 
It don't take much to  predict,
C

Because one day she'll
F 
Bb 
say she loves you,
F 
Dm 
C 
and the next she'll be  tired of you
G 
Am 
G 
But she'll always come to shove you

He almost made it
Gb 
to the buzzer
Db 
Somehow he gave up in the end

He put one hand around the other
Db 
And let that pick -up man on in
Gb 
It was his last chance to  ride
Db 
Now he'll have to move along
Ab 
But he knows back in his mind
Db 
He won't be away for long
