Capo 1/3

	Let's have a	hand for that young	cowboy,	and wish him better luck next	time

	A	E7	A	A7
	I hope we'll see him up in	Fargo, or somewhere farther down the	line

	A	D	A	A
	This time he sure drew a	bad one,	one that nobody could	ride

	E7	E7	A
By the way he pulled his	hat on,	you know he'd be there for the	fight

	A7	D	G G D
And it's the	classic contra	diction

	A
The unavoidable aff	liction

	A	E7
	And it don't take much to pre	dict, son

	E7	A	A7
	The way it always	goes

	A	D	G G D
	Cause one day she'll say she	loves you

	A
And the next she'll be tired	of you

	A	E7
	And push'll always come to	shove you

	E7	A
	On that midnight rode	o

	A	A7	D	D	A
	He almost made it	to the	buzzer,	somehow he gave up in the	end

	A	E7	E7	A	A7
	He put one hand around the	other,	and let that pick-up man on	in

	A	D	D	A
	It was his last chance to	ride it,	now he'll have to move a	long

	A	E7	E7	A
	But he knows back in his	mind that,	he won't be away for	long

	A	A7	D	D	A
	So let's have a	hand for that young	cowboy,	and wish him better luck next	time

	A	E7	E7	A
	And hope we'll see him up in	Fargo,	or somewhere farther down the	line
