Silence On The Line Chords

(ver. 1)
Chris Ledoux
D            G             A
Took my last fall in San Diego
D          G                A
Bus headed north one headed south
G        A           D
I call a farm in Colorado
      G                            A
And I lift a dusty pay phone to my mouth


D        G                   A
She says hello I say it's me hon
D       G              A
Sorry I stayed away so long
         G                    A                    D
Tell the kids thier old man's through with playin' rodeo
         G                                A
Cause if it's alright with you I'm comin' home


             D
Well there's silence on the line
             D
She says you sure did take your time
                                               A
But I still need a man for the things a man is good for
Em                         C
You know how it is raisin' crops and raisin' kids
  G              A                   D
Demands a man at least as fit as you are
D
So come on git on home there's hay that needs a mowin'
                                                    A
A boy that needs a whippin' and a hundred things to do
              Em
I hope you've finally found your mind
              C
To leave that rodeo behind
           G                 A                D
I've spent half my life just waitin' here for you


D                     G               A
I guess that nows the time I'd better tell her
D                 G                           A
Hon I've got this old friend that's here with me
   G            A            D        A       G
He used to be a cowboy and a good one so they say

                                       A
But now his legs are crippled he can't walk you see
D                    G                 A
But hon you ought to hear him tell his stories
D                  G               A
Sing the old songs play the guitar too
    G              A            D
I'd really like to show him Colorado
      G                                 A
But I thought I'd better leave it up to you


             D
Well there's silence on the line
          D
And now I hear her sayin'
                                               A
Babe I only need a man for the things a man is good for
    Em                   C
And you know how it is a place just half this big
  G              A               D
Demands a man at least as fit as you are
D
Put yourself in his place it'd awful hard to face
D                                            A
All the chores and work and nothing he could do
       Em                              C
If you want to know my mind leave that rodeo bum behind
      G                  A                D
Don't waste our time I'm waitin' here for you


D                     G          A
Well cryin's just for kids I put down the phone
D              G               A
Fumble with my crutches movin' slow
  G               A                 D   A    G
I wish that I was on the bus that's Colorado bound
G                        A           D
And I hope the weather's nice in Mexico
