[Intro]
| Eb | - | - | - |
[Verse 1]
Eb Ab
Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
Eb Bb Ab
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
Bb
She wondered what was wrong this time
Eb Ab
She never knew what his calls might bring
Eb Bb
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
Ab Bb Eb Bb
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind
[Verse 2]
Eb
He said,
Ab
"It's cold out here and I'm all alone
Eb Bb Ab
I didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home
Bb
I know I've been away too long
Eb Ab
I never got a chance to write or call
Eb Bb
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
Ab Bb Eb
But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"
[Chorus]
Ab Bb
She said, "Don't bother coming home
Cm Bb Ab
By the time you get here I'll be long gone
Eb Bb Ab
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man.
"
Bb Ab
He said,
Bb
"I'm sorry it's come down to this
Cm Bb Ab
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
Eb
But it's alright baby,
Bb Ab
if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Eb
Gotta go now baby,
Bb Ab Bb
if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
[Verse 3]
Eb Ab
He left that phone dangling off the hook
Eb Bb Ab
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Bb
Then he just walked away
Eb Ab
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
Eb Bb
With a little luck he could still get there in time
Ab Bb Eb
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say
[Chorus]
Ab Bb
She said, "Don't bother coming home
Cm Bb Ab
By the time you get here I'll be long gone
Eb Bb Ab
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man.
"

He said,
