[E] [B] [E] [A]
[B] [A] When you hear a cowboy yodel [D] in a song [A] of open range, [F#m] your heart leaps [Bm] up to hear [E] his stirring tale.
[A] But did you ever wonder [D] at the end of his [F#m] refrain, [B] why his voice leaps in a [E] mournful way?
Well, [F#] the story as it's told to me [C#] was handed down through history [F#m] of a singing cowboy brave [A#m] enough to try
[F#] to ride the meanest old [A#m] guy, used to buck him off right at the [B] chute, left him spinning way [E] up in the sky.
The [D] bronco jumped up [A] and the cowboy came down, [D] they met at the old [A] saddle horse.
[D] It made a deep impression, [A] you could say it changed his life, [Bm] and that's how the yodel [A] was born.
