Rocky Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Rocky, I'm writing you this let[G]ter
I'm in the Sunset [D]Home
My grand kids went and put [Bm]me he[Em]re
They got everything I [A]own[D]
I know you're out in Albuquerque
[G]I saw Freddie just last w[D]eek
He said your eyesight's
[Bm]failing [Em]you
And your mouth's too sore
[A]to speak

[Verse 2]
[D]Rocky, I've been thinking [G]lately
How we never got [D]along
How mostly I was [Bm]right[G]
[Bm][Em]
And sometimes I [A]was wrong
Re[G]member that horse [D]we bought in Tulsa
[G]It was afraid of the startin' [D]gun
You'd fill his ears full
of cot[Bm]ton[G][Em]
And all the money that we [A]won

[Verse 3]
[G]Rocky, you sure were a good cowboy
[D]You [G]did sure could rope and rid[D]e
I always told you not to chew
that [Bm]goddamned tobacco
[Em]You coulda listened just one t[A]ime

[Verse 4]
[D]They don't show many
Westerns on TV [G]here
They took away my [D]gun
But I still got that Western
[Bm]saddle[G][Em]
The one we stole from Freddie's [A]son

[Verse 5]
[D]Rocky, I hear that they're
feeding [G]you
And it sure do make me [D]sad
I never thought in [Bm]all my
[G]days[Bm][Em]
You'd ever end up like [A]that
Re[G]member that trailer in Minnesota
[D]Tha[G]t axle broke right in two[D]
We wired it together with four-
[Bm]by- [Em]fours
And we drove the whole night [A]through

[Verse 6]
[G]Rocky, you sure were a good cowboy
[D]You[G] did sure could rope and ride[D]
I always told you not to chew that
[Bm]goddamned [Em]tobacco
You coulda listened just one [A]time
So, [D]Rocky,

[Verse 7]
I'll just sign off [G]now
I've been up most of [D]the night
I just wanted to tell [G]you
[Bm]when I heard the news
[Em]It damned near made me[A] cry[D]
[G]Re member that gun we bought in [D]Reno
[G]You shot Freddie right
through the [D]hand
You wrapped it up in your be
[G]st Western [Em]shirt
Gave him all the money you [A]had

[Verse 8]
[G]Rocky, you sure were
a good cow[D]boy[G]
You did sure could [D]rope and ride
I always told you not to chew
that [Bm]goddamned tobacco
[Em]You coulda listened just one t[A]ime
You coulda listened just one [D]time

[Outro 1]
