G G/F# Em C G There a young man that I know, his age is twenty-one, Bm C D Comes from down in southern Colorado, G G/F# Em C G Just out of the service and he's looking for his fun. Am7 D D7 G Someday soon going with him, someday soon. G G/F# Em C G My parents cannot stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo. Bm C D My father says that he will leave me crying. G G/F# Em C G I would follow him right down the toughest road I know. Am7 D7 G Someday soon going with him, someday soon. D D7 C G And when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say. Em A7 D D7 Guess it he was just as wild in the younger days. G G/F# Em C G So blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me. Bm C D He's driving in tonight from California. G G/F# Em C G He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me, Am7 D D7 G Someday soon going with him, someday soon. D7 C G When he comes to call, my pa ain't got a word to say.
