Kunci Gitar Bobby Bare - Calgary Snow

G                           D                                            G

Last Friday she said to me, hey Billy Joe, did you know either me or the rodeo goes?

                   D           C                         D                            G

so I packed up and left her in Waco and drove up to ride on the bulls in the Calgary snow

     C                                                  D

saw a sign that said riders and hauled all my rigging inside

          G                        C                      D

where the fellas was braggin', and drawing stock we would ride

      C                                                D

I was doin' the same till I looked at the name that id drawn

                                 G

then I stood there and silently cried

C      D       G

oh you Calgary snow

C               D    G

I cant let the rodeo go

        C            D          G           Em

hurtin' more than my pride on a bull I cant ride

        C     D              G

lays me low, in the Calgary snow

 

G                               D

well, I knew I was beat in the hat when I drew it  

                                   G

and it started me drinkin', to think of the brute

                                 C                D                                         G

till I managed to wreck my left knee and my ankle between the damn bull and the side of the shoot

 

             C                                                D

and I'm thinkin' out loud as I fly through the clouds to the ground

      Em                            C              D

hey Billy, maybe you aint' the most dynamite rider around

           C                      D                              G                       Em

cause your kickin' to late comin' out of the gate boy but you're great comin' gracefully down

 

           Gm                                   Cm

well, I know that I'm blown in the shoot on the first go round

         D                                        G

so I give 'em my ole "what the hell" grin as I get up off the ground

        Gm                                   Cm

and right then I'm thinkin' I aint' taken to Calgary much

D                                                G

ain't nothin' back in my room but a broom I can use for a crutch

 

        C               D                   G

And its cold, lord, its cold in the Calgary wind

         C                       D                     G

when you knowin' that you gott'a ride the day morning again

               C      D         G          Em

ain't no whiskey nor either nor platens nor pills

       C                   D

gon'na deaden the pain and chills  

        G

of the Calgary wind

        C                                      D

but what more is a broken down rodeo cowboy to do?

       G               C                         D

but stove up in Canada watchin' his bruises turn blue

        C                                          D

there's only one road gon'na lead back to Waco and you

                                G

and it runs out of shoot number two

 

C      D       G

oh you Calgary snow

C              D      G

I cant let that rodeo go

       C            D           G            Em

hurtin' more than my pride on a bull  I cant ride

         C          D       G

lays me low in the Calgary snow
