She watched him ride wild horses knowing that she shouldn’t go
                            A       Em                  Asus A           
To follow around that young cowboy the one they called Rodeo
  D                                             G                       Asus A

  D          D/F#     G   G/F#     Em             A
For Rose was his only daughter the darling of the Downs

A dance had been planned for that evening Rose cried as she left the homestead
                                 A                Em                   A
She could feel her heart slowly breaking from the words her father had said
     D                                         G                   A
She just sat by the window and listened to the travelling country band
     D      D/F#             G      G/F# Em                A 
When Rodeo walked ‘cross the dance floor and held out his hand


 G                A           D
May I have this dance pretty lady
 G                           A
Forget what the others will say
  D           D/F#            G      G/F#
People might think that we’re crazy
  Em                    A
But I’d have it no other way
 G               A        D
As long as we’re always together
 G                            A
There’s one thing that only we know
  D            D/F#  G      G/F#
This love will last forever
 Em      A  D
Rose and Rodeo


G - A - D - G - A - D - D/F# - G - G/F# - Em - A - D


Now it’s been many year’s since that evening that old hall’s not used anymore
Except for an old man who’s walking ‘cross that old dusty wooden dance floor
The children all laugh through the window the danceband’s not there to be heard
But her eyes light up as he holds out his hand she still remembers those words

Chorus

  D            D/F#  G      G/F# 
Their love will last forever
 Em      A  D
Rose and Rodeo
