One Less Tornado E A E Billy John grew up just west of Waco E A He used to bare knuckle fight just for fun E He was as wild as a Texas tornado F# B And a bull ridin' son of a gun E A E Then one Saturday night down in Jasper E A He drew a bull they called Dust Devil Rage A E And that twenty-two hundred pound hammer B E(E7) Laid Billy John in his grave CHORUS A E Now there's one less tornado in Texas A B And a saddle that's empty tonight A E A There's one hell of a cowboy in Heaven E B C#m At that big rodeo in the sky A E B E Ohh that big rodeo in the sky My granddaddy rode in the thirty's He must have really been somethin' back then 'Cause all of my life I've heard stories About the buckle he didn't quite win Although he never got over his losing He's a bonafied hero to me And Lord knows I'm sure gonna miss him But I know he's in good company CHORUS X 4
