INTRO: C Am F C Dm G C 

                    Am
There's a young man that I know
      F             C     Em
Whose age is twenty-one
                                 F G
Comes from down in southern Colorado
     C               Am
He's just out of the service
     F               C
He's looking for his fun
        Dm
Someday soon
      G                 C
Going with him, someday soon


                  Am
My parents cannot stand him
          F             C   
'Cause he rides the rodeo
   Em                          F  G
My daddy says he will leave me crying
    C                        Am
But I would follow him right down
    F               C
The toughest road I know
        Dm
Someday soon
      G                 C        G
Going with him, someday soon



When he comes to call
      F                        C     Am
My pa ain't got a good word to say
                                     D
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild
               G
In his younger days


   C                  Am
So blow, you old Blue Northern
F               C   
Blow my love to me
     Em                          F   G
He's driving in tonight from California
       C                    Am
And he loves his damned old rodeo
   F                C
As much as he loves me
        Dm
Someday soon
      G                 C        
Going with him, someday soon
