 3/4 time, Eb tuning (strings half-step down)
 
 G           C      D             G 
 He's packed up his boots and his saddle
 G     C    D                  D 
 Seventeen, headin' out on his own
 G             C      D7          Em
 And he'll rodeo from Cheyenne to Texas
 C        G  D           G   
 Dreamin' of one ride in Vegas
 D           G       C  D
 One ride in Vegas
 
 G      C         D             G
 Lonely nights in rundown motel rooms
 G         C          D           D
 Aches and pains from yesterday's ride
 G           C            D7               Em
 It's takin' more than he thought he could give it
 C                G      D           G
 But he's holdin' on for one ride in Vegas
 D           G    G
 One ride in Vegas
 
          C          D    G           C  
 And he's riskin' it all, driven by a hunger
      C          D            G        G     
 That never will let him give up
          C           D        G           C
 And with fire in his eyes, he dances with thunder
      C           G           D
 Till one day his day finally comes
 
 G               C          D        G
 His heart beats fast with anticipation
 G        C                D                     D   
 Brighter lights than he's ever seen before
             G         C            D7         Em              
 He's waited his whole life for the next eight seconds
 C                   G        D           G
 And he'd do it all again for one ride in Vegas
 D           G           C D D G C D D
 One ride in Vegas
 
 G               C    D                 G 
 He's an old man now, four times' world champion
 G            C             D                D
 A modern day legend, every cowboy knows his name
 G            C           D7            Em
 He's settled down on his ranch down in Texas
 C                       G       D           G
 But he'd trade it all today for one ride in Vegas
     D            G
 One more ride in Vegas
