Capo 1 
  
D9                                           G  
Her telephone rang about a quarter to nine  
D9                                          A                      G  
She heard his voice on the other end of the line  
                                           A  
She wondered what was wrong this time  
D9                                        G  
She never knew what his calls might bring  
                 D9                                 A  
With a cowboy like him it could be anything   
                  G                              A                                    D9           A  
And she always expected the worse in the back of her mind  
D9                                            G  
He said its cold out here and I?m all alone.  
  D9                                      A                                   G                         
Didn?t make the short go again and I?m coming home  
                                  A  
I know I?ve been away to long  
D9                                    G              
I never got a chance to write or call  
             D9                                      A  
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all  
              G                              A                                      D9   
But I?ll be home soon and honey is there something wrong  
  
  
Chorus:  
G                                      A  
She said don?t bother coming home  
          Bm           A             G  
By the time you get here I?ll be long gone  
D9                                       A                           G      A  
There is somebody new and he sure ain?t no rodeo man  
G                                    A  
He said I?m sorry it?s come down to this  
             Bm         A                    G  
There is so much about you that I?m gonna miss  
D9                                       A                                      G  
But it?s alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne  
D9                                      A                                      G  
Got to go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne  
  
A 
  
D9                                                 G  
He left that phone dangling off the hook   
D9                                               A                      G  
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look  
                           A  
Then he just walked away  
D9                                                   G  
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line   
                     D9                         A  
With a little luck he could still get there in time  
        G                           A                                    D9            
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say  
  
  
Chorus:  
  
G                                      A  
She said don't bother coming home  
          Bm           A             G  
By the time you get here I?ll be long gone  
D9                                       A                           G      A  
There is somebody new and he sure ain?t no rodeo man  
G                                    A  
He said I?m sorry it?s come down to this  
             Bm         A                    G  
There is so much about you that I?m gonna miss  
D9                                       A                                      G  
But it?s alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne  
D9                                      A                                      G       
Got to go now baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne  

A 
  
D9                                        G  
She never knew what his calls might bring  
                 D9                               A  
With a cowboy like him it could be anything   
                  G                              A                                    D9   
And she always expected the worse in the back of her mind
