G5                                    A5
Who was once a bull hooking son of a gun                   
    D5                                            G5
Now who keeps a pint hid out behind chute number one 
                                                      A5
Who was ridin high till a pretty girl rode him to the ground 
    D5                                              G5
Any kid knows where to find me I'm Bandy the rodeo clown 
G5                                                    A5                
In the ridin and the ropin I was closin in on number on     
       D5
Now in dreams at night I ride on that silver saddle I never 
G5
won. Since she left me the whiskey takes me to the rodeo 
A5                 D5
grounds, Where the cowboys think I'm handy I'm Bandy the 
      G5
rodeo clown. 
 
(Chorus) 
 

C5 
I could ride em all                                             
D5                                   G5
The bulls and the broncs knew I was boss  
        A5
But the ride that woman took me on broke a whole lot more  
                       D5
Than this old cowboy's bones. 
          G5
While the tears on my makeup melts my painted smile into a 
A5          D5
frown.  The crowd thinks I'm a dandy I'm Bandy the rodeo 
G5
clown 
 
 
(Repeat chorus and last verse to end)
