Version 1

            [Intro]
| C | G | D7 | G |

[Verse 1]
                                           C               G
The cattle prowl and the coyotes howl, out on that great divide
        C                  G                  A7               D7
I never done no wrong just singin' a song, as down the trail I ride
    G                                            C                  G
The rattlesnakes rattle at the prairie dogs, you hear that mournful tune
     C               G                      A7           D
It's round-up time a-way out west, when the cactus is in bloom

[Chorus]
G                                          C
Daylight comes and the cowhands yell, they call out every man
  D                                                              G
I throw my saddle on my old cow horse and drink my coffee from a can
                                              C
The sun goes down on the cattle trail and I'm gazing at the moon
     D                                                   G
It's round-up time a-way out west, when the cactus is in bloom

[Interlude]
| G | D7 | G |
[Yodel]
| G | D7 | G | G |
| G | C | C | D7 |
| D7 | D7 | G | G |
| G | C | C | D7 |
| D7 | D7 | G | G |

[Verse 2]
                               C              G
We don't have cold weather, it never snows or rains
C                     G            A7                 D7
That is where the sun shines best, out on the western plains
G                                   C               G
Some of the boys are gone away, but they'll be back soon
         C               G                      A7           D
For it's round-up time a-way out west, when the cactus is in bloom

[Chorus]
G                                          C
Daylight comes and the cowhands yell, they call out every man
  D                                                              G
I throw my saddle on my old cow horse and drink my coffee from a can
                                              C
The sun goes down on the cattle trail and I'm gazing at the moon
     D                                      D7           G
It's round-up time a-way out west, when the cactus is in bloom
