ALL AROUND COWBOY OF 1964
[D]Folks used to think that [A]I could ride [Bm]any bronc or [A]bull alive
And [G]maybe in my younger days I [A]could
But [D]now I'm slowin' [A]down a bit f[Bm]riends tell me that [A]I should quit
And [G]if I didn't l[A]ove it so I w[D]ould
I recall when folks thought [A]I was great and [Bm]all the riders [A]used to hate
To [G]see my name upon the entry d[A]oor
'Cause [D]I could ride and [A]I could rope the [Bm]others seemed to [A]have no hope
[G]Lookin' at the [A]buckle that I [D]wore
It said [G]All Around [A]Cowboy of 1[D]964
Long [G]days and lucky breaks helped me a[A]long
[G]Working hard and r[A]iding fast and [D]sleeping [A]in the [G]cold
Made me [G]All Around [A]Cowboy of 1[D]964
[D]Folks don't seem to r[A]ealize the [Bm]thrill I get from [A]every ride
That [G]bronc feels like pure dynamite to [A]me
[D]Scratched and bruised my [A]body aches f[Bm]rom the day to day a[A]buse it takes
Lord [G]only knows the [A]way it sets me [D]free
Now my days have [A]shortened up I'm [Bm]outa breaks and [A]outa luck
And [G]things will never be the same old [A]way
As [D]I look and s[A]hed a tear [Bm]sometimes I can [A]almost hear
The [G]echos of the [A]judges they would [D]say
You're the [G]All Around [A]Cowboy of 1[D]964
