George Strait - I Can Still Make Cheyenne Chords

[Intro] 

D


[Verse 1]

D                         G                D                          A                G
Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine, she heard his voice on the other end of the line
                     A                D                       G
She wondered what was wrong this time, she never knew what his calls might bring
      D                        A                    G                   A                        D    A
With a cowboy like him it could be anything, and she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.
D                               G              D                        A                    G
He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone, didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home.
                A              D                       G
I know I've been away too long, I never got a chance to write or call
D                             A                        G                A                        D
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all, but I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"


[Chorus]

G                      A                   Bm       A                G
She said, "Don't bother comin' home. by the time you get here I'll be long gone.
       D                   A                   G     A G
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
G                       A                          Bm      A              G
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this, there's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
        D                  A                         G
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
     D                 A                         G     A
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.


[Bridge]

D                          G             D                             A                G
He left that phone danglin' off the hook, then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
            A            D                              G
Then he just walked away. He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line.
      D                          A
With a little luck he could still get there in time
   G                A                            D
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say.


[Chorus]

G                      A                   Bm       A                G
She said, "Don't bother comin' home. by the time you get here I'll be long gone.
       D                   A                   G     A G
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
G                       A                          Bm     A               G
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this, there's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
        D                  A                         G
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
     D                 A                         G     A
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.

       G                   A                        D     D G D A G A D 
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.
