Most download versions of this song that I ve heard are slightly sped up from the
format, so your guitar may sound out of tune while playing along... I d say its about a 1/16th
higher than it should be.
INTRO:
VERSE 1
I ll be thinking of you pal at sunset time
Thinking of the happy days gone by
There beneath those dear old western skies
--F#/D--
And I ll tell you just the reason why,
CHORUS
There s a love knot in my lariat,
And it s waiting for a blue eyed gal you bet,
While I m riding the range all day
--F#/D--
My old lasso seems to say, it twines around an ornery stray,
There s a love knot in my lariat
And it s waiting for my little prairie pet
When I swing me old lasso you hear me âyodelayheehooâ
There s a love knot in my lariat.
VERSE 2
Iâll be thinking of you pal at roundup time
when Iâm riding cross the great divide
every time I swing my lariat
--F#/D--
takes me back to someone I just cant forget.
CHORUS
