Farther Down The Line

A            A7                  D
Let's have a hand for that young cowboy
                              A
And wish him better luck next time.
                           E7
I hope we'll see him up in Fargo
                              A    A7
Or somewhere farther down the line
                         D
This time he sure drew a bad one
                      A
One that nobody could ride
                         E7
By the way he pulled his hat on
                               A
You know he'd be there for the fight

[Chorus]
             A7           D        G D
And it's the classic contradiction
                   A
The unavoidable affliction.
                             E7
And it don't take much to predict, son
                  A    A7
The way it always goes
                            D         G D
'Cause one day she says she loves you
                             A
And the next she'll be tired of you
                          E7
N' push'll always come to shove you
                     A
On that midnight rodeo

[Instrumental]

                  A7     D
He almost made it to the buzzer
                          A
Somehow he gave up in the end
                           E7
He put one hand around the other
                            A  A7
And let that pick-up man on in
                          D
It was his last chance to ride it
                        A
Now he'll have to move along
                         E7
But he knows back in his mind, that
                     A
He won't be away for long

[Chorus]

                A7                  D      G D
So let's have a hand for that young cowboy
                              A
And wish him better luck next time
                           E7
I hope we'll see him up in Fargo
                               A
Or somewhere  farther down the line
