3/4 time, Eb tuning (strings half-step down)

G           C      D             G 
He's packed up his boots and his saddle
G     C    D                  D 
Seventeen, headin' out on his own
G             C      D7          Em
And he'll rodeo from Cheyenne to Texas
C        G  D           G   
Dreamin' of one ride in Vegas
D           G       C  D
One ride in Vegas

G      C         D             G
Lonely nights in rundown motel rooms
G         C          D           D
Aches and pains from yesterday's ride
G           C            D7               Em
It's takin' more than he thought he could give it
C                G      D           G
But he's holdin' on for one ride in Vegas
D           G    G
One ride in Vegas

         C          D    G           C  
And he's riskin' it all, driven by a hunger
     C          D            G        G     
That never will let him give up
         C           D        G           C
And with fire in his eyes, he dances with thunder
     C           G           D
Till one day his day finally comes

G               C          D        G
His heart beats fast with anticipation
G        C                D                     D   
Brighter lights than he's ever seen before
            G         C            D7         Em              
He's waited his whole life for the next eight seconds
C                   G        D           G
And he'd do it all again for one ride in Vegas
D           G           C D D G C D D
One ride in Vegas

G               C    D                 G 
He's an old man now, four times' world champion
G            C             D                D
A modern day legend, every cowboy knows his name
G            C           D7            Em
He's settled down on his ranch down in Texas
C                       G       D           G
But he'd trade it all today for one ride in Vegas
    D            G
One more ride in Vegas
