The (F# G# B C#) part in the chorus are bass notes on the 6th and then 5th strings which, if possible, can
be played while allowing the B chord notes to ring out from the B/G# chord. The intro sequqence is easier if
you play the E as a C shape at the fourth fret - x76454

B/D# -  x6444x 
B/A  -  x0444x
B/G# -  4x444x 
B/F# -  2x444x

[Verse]
       E
From a phonebooth in Cheyenne
         G#m
I made a promise to Diane
        A          F#m              B     B/A  B/G#  B/F#
No more rodeos I'd gone my last go 'round
         E                            G#m
The same promise that I made in San Antone and Sante Fe
      A               F#m            B
But tonight I saddled up and let her down

[Chorus]
A    E           C#m      B   E    B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away
C#m  E/B       F#m                A             B    B/A  B/G# (F# G# B C#)
      And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
     A                  G#m
Wild horses just stay wild
        A              Am
and her heart is all I break
     E           C#m      B   E
Wild horses keep dragging me away

[Verse]
               E
She watched me drive around her block
        G#m
Getting courage up to stop
   A                 F#m             B    B/A  B/G#  B/F#
To make her one more promise I can't keep
          E                      G#m
The way I love the rodeo I guess I should let her go
  A               F#m                 B
Before I hurt her more than she loves me

[Chorus]
A    E           C#m      B   E    B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away
C#m  E/B       F#m                A             B    B/A  B/G# (F# G# B C#)
      And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
     A                  G#m
Wild horses just stay wild
        A              Am
and her heart is all I break
     E           C#m      B   E   B/D#  C#m  
Wild horses keep dragging me away

A    E           C#m      B   E    B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away
C#m  E/B       F#m                A             B    B/A  B/G# (F# G# B C#)
      And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
     A                  G#m
Wild horses just stay wild
        A              Am
and her heart is all I break
     E           C#m      B   E
Wild horses keep dragging me away  (Fade)
