G In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne D They had to carry away that brave young man Em A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan C Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
G Lookin' back it doesn't seem so long ago D He was bigger than life, God rest his soul Em Why he died that day is hard to understand C Right there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne [Chorus:] G So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while D And take time to remember that cowboy's smile Em A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan C Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne G No buckles on a shelf collecting dust D Still his memory shines inside of all of us Em Some miss their hero, some miss their friend C His mom and daddy long to see their little boy again [Chorus:] G So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while D And take time to remember that cowboy's smile Em A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan C Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne G In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
D They had to carry away that brave young man Em If you're washed in the blood someday you'll see him again C But it won't be in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
