Capo on 4th fret
              
 
 
He plays this  
, but I think it works better for one guitar playing on capo  
2. To play capo four, The D is a C and so on? To play it with no capo, the D is an  
E and so on? 
 
*Use a clamp  
Capo on 2 and leave the E string open. ADGBE will be  
 with the  
top E left open, so you?re playing in D position (resembling playing in drop D tuning).* 
 
(One other note: Play the high E string open for that hammer-on for the Bm)

Intro  
D                                  Bm  
In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne 
            A                           G 
They had to carry away that brave young man 
         D                                  Bm 
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan 
                  A                            G 
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne 
 
 
verse 1 
        D                            Bm 
Lookin' back it doesn't seem so long ago 
       A                              G 
He was bigger than life, God rest his soul 
       D                              Bm 
Why he died that day is hard to understand 
                   A                              G 
Right there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne 
 
 
 
            A                                 G 
So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while 
        D                             Bm 
And take time to remember that cowboy's smile 
         A                                  G 
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan 
                  D                           Bm        A  
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne 
 
 
Instrumental (over verse chords) 
 
 
verse 2 
No buckles on a shelf collecting dust 
Still his memory shines inside of all of us 
Some miss their hero, some miss their friend 
His mom and daddy long to see their little boy again 
 
Chorus 
 
Outro 
In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne 
They had to carry away that brave young man 
If your washed in the blood someday you'll see him again 
And it won't be in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
