       E      
From a phone booth in Cheyenne 
         G#m 
I made a promise to Diane 
      A               F#m7               B7 
No more rodeos I'd gone my last go 'round 
E                               G#m 
the same promise that I made in San Antone and Santa Fe 
    A                 F#m7              B7 
but tonight I saddled up and let her down 
 
        A    E           C#m      B7   E    
Chorus: Wild horses keep dragging me away 
                 F#m7                 A             B7 
 And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday 
             A                G#m 
 Wild Horses just stay wild 
         A                 Am 
 and her heart is all I'll break 
             E           C#m      B7      E 
 Wild horses keep dragging me away 
 
(second verse same chord progression as 1st) 
 
 
She watched me drive around her block 
Gettin' courage up to stop 
To make her one more promise I can't keep 
The way I love the rodeo I guess I should let her go 
Before I hurt her more than she loves me
