Key of D (CAPO 2nd Fret) Am G Night time's falling on the Summerlea,and suppers getting cold. Am G Its the second time in as many weeks he hasn't shown. F Am He's probably chasing some old steer across some prairie storm. G Am And when she asks him he'll just shrug and say "that's the way things go". __________ 1st CHORUS: Am G But he only gets into town twice a month and he gets out as fast as he can. Am G He don't have a phone so she can't call him up and she never knows where he is. F Am He smells like horses and he chews tobacco and he cusses and he spits. G Am She's been in love a couple of times before, but never quite like this. __________ Am G Next month it'll be those damned old Rodeos and fairs. Am G And He'll be gone for six weeks straight to God only knows where. F Am And he won't win any money and worst than that, he won't care. G Am When she asks him, he'll just smile he had a real good time out there.

G Am She's been in love a couple of times before, but never quite like this. __________ Am G Well he stops his horse, to get a light and the water pores of his hat. Am G Hes been out in the rain most of the night and ought to be getting back. F Am His been thinking about the color of her hair and the touch of her hand. G Am And the way she quietly smiles whenever she looks at him. __________ 3rd CHORUS: Am G But he only gets into town twice a month and he gets out as fast as he can. Am G He don't have a phone so he can't call her up and he never knows where she is. F Am She smells like flowers and perfume and tobacco and gin.
