Jake Mathews - He Never Learned How
(Rivers Rutherford, Houston Robert)
This song starts with capo 1st fret, and then changes to capo 2nd in the middle.
In the intro the S means strum, I've added a sound byte.

D A
His blood runs cold at the Astrodome
D D7 G
As he draws a bull they call the blue tornado
A A7
Two thousand pounds of hell's own hounds
D A
Who cut his teeth on cowboy's bones
So he cinches up and he eases in
And loses somewhere half way through the second spin
And in a dusty haze remembers the glory days
That will never be again
Chorus
A D
Now the rodeo is over
A D
The lights have all dimmed down
G D
On another weathered face
D/C Bm Bm/F Bm/A Bm Bm/F Bm/A
In some lonely old cow town
Em
And he ought to let go
A D
But he never learned how

Now there she stands by the holding pens
Holding hands with this year's bet for champion
He keeps a poker face but in some secret place
It's killing him
He tips hat as he walks on by
And finds it strange that she can't look him in the eye
After all the times she told him that she loved him
When he was riding high
Chorus
Bridge
Bm G
But something in his heart just has to try
A D D/C
To give her one more record breakin' ride
Bm G
And it hurts like hell that he don't feel the pain
G A
And for a moment he's a hero once again
Now there he lays in the center ring
She's calling out his name but he don't hear a thing
Just the distant sound of a Sunday crowd
As the angels start to sing
Chorus 2
Now the rodeo is over
The lights have all dimmed down
On another weathered face
In some lonely old cow town
And he finally let go
Cause he never learned how
