D                        A            Bm           A 
Folks used to think that I could ride any bronc or bull alive 
    G                          A 
And maybe in my younger days I could 
    D               A           Bm                  A 
But now I'm slowin' down a bit friends tell me that I should quit 
    G            A            D 
And if I didn't love it so I would 
                            A               Bm             A 
I recall when folks thought I was great and all the riders used to hate 
   G                           A 
To see my name upon the entry door 
       D                A                Bm               A 
'Cause I could ride and I could rope the others seemed to have no hope 
G              A             D 
Lookin' at the buckle that I wore 
 

        G          A          D 
It said All Around Cowboy of 1964 
     G                                A 
Long days and lucky breaks helped me along 
G                 A              D        A      G 
Working hard and riding fast and sleeping in the cold 
        G          A          D 
Made me All Around Cowboy of 1964 
 

D                    A          Bm                A 
Folks don't seem to realize the thrill I get from every ride 
     G                                 A 
That bronc feels like pure dynamite to me 
D                        A           Bm                  A 
Scratched and bruised my body aches from the day to day abuse it takes 
     G              A              D 
Lord only knows the way it sets me free 
                 A                Bm              A 
Now my days have shortened up I'm outa breaks and outa luck 
    G                                 A 
And things will never be the same old way 
   D           A          Bm              A 
As I look and shed a tear sometimes I can almost hear 
    G            A                 D 
The echos of the judges they would say 
 

           G          A          D
