Rodeo by Amy Ray

This is Rodeo By Amy Ray from her album Prom (4/12/05)




G                                  D
She comes down to Georgia to dance across my kitchen floor,
       C                                  Am
Leavin' black marks on linoleum, a country song on the radio.

G                                  D  
I am just a rodeo calf with tender feet and sewn on horns
   C                            Am
And love is a kindness that I've never known before,
                    C
I've never known before.

              G                              D
She say's "I'm bound to Carolina to join the kids in 'Truth or Dare'."
       C                                      Am
And she laughs and says its just a game when I tell her that I'm scared.

 G                       D        
I am just a dog waitin' at the kitchen door,
C                             Am
 Love is a kindness that I've never known before,
                   C
I've never known before.

There is a little bridge here that I just kind if 
improvise with the notes from the song

G             D
Make it last, make it stay
        C                     Am
Can you hold on long enough to make this pay.
 
             G                             D
She said," My daddy was a grifter and I was in my momma's way,
    C                              Am          
So I drifted for a while, because I could not stand to stay."
                    
              G                            D
And she said, "Love is a kindness that I've never understood."
             C                              Am         
I said, "I'll give it to you willingly, its something you deserve,
                    C
Its something you deserve."
    
        G                 D
And I'll make it last, I'll make it stay.
          C                        Am   
If you can hold on long enough I can make this pay.
      G                             D 
'Cause I am just a calf with tender feet and sewn on horns,     
C                       Am                      G
Love is a prize waitin' on her at the rodeo.
