Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
The [G]first time I saw him
was [C]over in Tucson
When he [G]asked what the
bronc ridin' [D]paid
Well, [C]me and the boys we
all [G]had us a laugh
When [C]we saw that his hair was in braid[D]s

[Verse 2]
[C]He drawed a good mount,
[D]you should a seen how
[C]We used that old horse 'til [G]the gun
Well, [C]I've never seen me no
[G]Indian cowboy
[C]But that feller Joe [D]Cy [G]was one

[Verse 3]
He's a [G]rodeo Indian [C]cowboy you bet
And he's [D]tough as a buffalo's [G]hide
They say the worst kind
[C]of cayuse get scared
When [A]he finds out he's
drawed up Joe [D]Cy

[Verse 4]
He's [G]wild as a war dancin',
ready to reach for
[C]A handful of sweet suicide
He's a [D]rodeo Indian [C]cowboy for sure
When [D]they say,

[Interlude 1]
"Come ridin' Joe Cy"
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Some feller told me he was
[C]raised up a Mustang
Some[G]where on the Montana plains
[D]Said he'd alr[C]eady rode him
[G]a nightmare to hell
[C]Or his spur whipped the devil half [D]lame

[Verse 6]
The [C]harder they try him,
the [D]better he likes 'em
That [C]Joe Cy is one more good [G]man
He's a [C]rodeo Indian,
[G]double tough cowboy
And an [C]all around [D]rodeo [G]hand

[Verse 7]
Well, he [G]laughed when
he told me
[C]He'd traded his trophies
Gold [G]buckles and saddles [D]and stuff
For some [C]good land and livestock
[G]To start him a school
For the [C]Indian kids sure [D]enough

[Verse 8]
Well, he's [C]teachin' 'em
ridin' and [D]ropin'
And Joe says [C]that they're
all a- makin' top [G]hands
So [C]watch out your pale faces
[G]come National Finals
We'll [C]have one more
Custer[D]'s last [G]stand

[Verse 9]
He's [G]a rodeo Indian
[C]cowboy you bet
And he's [D]tough as a buffalo's [G]hide
They say the worst kind
[C]of cayuse gets scared
When [A]he finds out he's
drawed up Joe [D]Cy

[Verse 10]
He's [G]wild as a war dancin',
ready to reach for
[C]A handful of sweet suicide
He's a [D]rodeo Indian [C]cowboy for sure
When [D]they say,
"Come ridin' Joe [G]Cy"

[Outro 1]
