D5                        A5            B5           A5 
Folks used to think that I could ride any bronc or bull alive 
    G5                          A5 
And maybe in my younger days I could 
    D5               A5           B5                  A5 
But now I'm slowin' down a bit friends tell me that I should quit 
    G5            A5            D5 
And if I didn't love it so I would 
                            A5               B5             A5 
I recall when folks thought I was great and all the riders used to hate 
   G5                           A5 
To see my name upon the entry door 
       D5                A5                B5               A5 
'Cause I could ride and I could rope the others seemed to have no hope 
G5              A5             D5 
Lookin' at the buckle that I wore 
 

        G5          A5          D5 
It said All Around Cowboy of 1964 
     G5                                A5 
Long days and lucky breaks helped me along 
G5                 A5              D5        A5      G5 
Working hard and riding fast and sleeping in the cold 
        G5          A5          D5 
Made me All Around Cowboy of 1964 
 

D5                    A5          B5                A5 
Folks don't seem to realize the thrill I get from every ride 
     G5                                 A5 
That bronc feels like pure dynamite to me 
D5                        A5           B5                  A5 
Scratched and bruised my body aches from the day to day abuse it takes 
     G5              A5              D5 
Lord only knows the way it sets me free 
                 A5                B5              A5 
Now my days have shortened up I'm outa breaks and outa luck 
    G5                                 A5 
And things will never be the same old way 
   D5           A5          B5              A5 
As I look and shed a tear sometimes I can almost hear 
    G5            A5                 D5 
The echos of the judges they would say 
 

           G5          A5          D5
