D
Small talk, cheap beer and wine
C
Easy women, wasted time
G                                    D
Another night with somebody he don't know
D
It's been the first and been the last
        C
Got no future, had no past
G                                  D
A nameless face in somebody else's show
C           D
Riding the rodeo
G             C     G    C      
He's a rodeo rider, sole survivor
G                          D     C
Got to prove that he's the best
G     C      G   C
Rodeo rider, sole survivor
G             D               C
Got to be the fastest in the west
D
Cheyenne to San Antoine
     C
Wild horses and women he's known
G                                     D
Have broken his heart and most of his bones
D
But today he's gonna ride again
      C
Doin' everything he can to win
G                                                       D
A nameless face but that's the only life that he's ever known
C          D
Riding the rodeo
G            C      G    C      
He's a rodeo rider, sole survivor
G                          D     C
Got to prove that he's the best

AMG REVIEW: Gene Clark's post-Byrds solo career was as frought with 
false starts, and unmet promises as his two years with the Byrds were 
filled with fame, fulfillment, and recognition. Firebyrd was an
artistic 
triumph and a commercial disaster--released to rave reviews and an 
enthusiastic response, as one of the finest solo projects ever to come

from an ex-Byrd, it was killed by poor distribution (demand in Europe,

especially Germany and Italy, where fan interest in Clark and the
Byrds
 was very high, resulted in high premiums being paid for used copies).

"Rain Song," "Rodeo Rider," and "Something About You" were some of 
Clark's best songs in years, and his covers of two old Byrds numbers, 
"Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Feel A Whole Lot Better," are perfectly 
credible reinterpretations, and he even does justice to Gordon 
Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind." Not a "lost Byrds album" by
any 
means, but a must-own for any serious Byrds fan. (see This Byrd Has 
Flown) -- Bruce Eder, All-Music
