All Around Cowboy Of 1964

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

[Chorus]
        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

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
           G          A          D
You're the All Around Cowboy of 1964

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
            G          A          D
