Capo 2nd fret G C/G The elk are coming down from the hills each morning. G D/F# The winter grazing's better here below.

Every year this town is getting smaller.
The kids can hardly wait to up and go.
And now they've closed the high school down forever.
It's cold outside, looking like early snow this morning.
It's cold outside, looking like early snow.
Em Bm Clouds up over the Bitterroots getting darker every day, C G G/F# As soon as the wind turns westerly, they're bound to head this way. Em Bm There's been no rain all summer; all the grass is brown. C G D Dsus2 Dsus2/C Dsus2/B Dsus2/A This rodeo is over, this circus is leaving town.
Another farming family left the valley.
They left last night; nobody heard 'em go.
They left the tractor standing in the hay field.
It's cold outside, looking like early snow this morning.
It's cold outside, looking like early snow.
Clouds up over the bitterroots getting darker every day,
As soon as the wind turns westerly, they're bound to head this way.
There's been no rain all summer; all the grass is brown.
This rodeo is over, this circus is leaving town.
The elk are coming down from the hills each morning.
The winter grazing's better here below.
The evening sky last night was like a warning:
It's cold outside, looking like early snow this morning.
It's cold outside, looking like early snow.
It's cold outside, looking like early snow.
