INTRO: G A D
VERSE:
She said, "I seen you in [G]here before."[A]
I said, "I been here a [D]time or two."
She said,"Hello my name is[G] Bobby Jo,[A]
meet my twin sister [D]Betty Lou.[D7]
And we're both feelin' kinda [G]wild tonight,[A]
you're the only cowboy [D]in this place.
And if you're up for a[E] rodeo,
I'll put a big Texas [A]smile on your face."
I said "girls....."
CHORUS:
I ain't as good as I [G]once was[A]
I got a few [D]years on me now
But there was a [G]time, back in my [A]prime
When I could really [D]lay it down
If you need some [G]love tonight[A]
Then I might have [D]just enough[Bm7]
I ain't as good as I [G]once was,
But I'm as go[A]od, once, as I [G]ever was[G/F#] [G/E] [D]
BREAK G A D
VERSE:
I still hang out with my [G]best friend Dave[A]
I've known him since we were [D]kids at school
Last night he had a few [G]shots,
Got in a tight [A]spot
Hustlin' a ga[D]me of pool[D7]
With a couple of r[G]edneck boys[A]
One great big bad b[D]iker man
I heard David yell ac[E]ross the room
"Hey buddy, how 'bout[A] a helpin' hand?"
I said Dave.....
CHORUS:
I ain't as good as I [G]once was[A]
My how the ye[D]ars have flown
But there was a [G]time, back in my p[A]rime
When I could really [D]hold my[D7] own
If you want to f[G]ight tonight[A]
Guess those boys don't look [D]all that tough[Bm7]
I ain't as good as I [G]once was,
But I'm as [A]good, once, as I [G]ever was[G/F#] [G/E] [D]
BRIDGE:
I used to be [C]hell on wheels[G]
Back when I was a [D]younger man
Now my body say's [E]you can't do this boy
But my pride say's oh [A]yes you can
CHORUS:
I ain't as good as I [G]once was[A]
That's just the [D]cold hard truth
I still throw a few [G]back, talk a li[A]ttle smack
When I'm feelin'[D] bullet proof[D7]
So don't double dog [G]dare me now[A]
Cause I'd have to ca[D]ll your bluff[Bm7]
I ain't as good as I [G]once was,
But I'm as [A]good, once, as I [G]ever was[G/F#] [G/E] [D]
TURNAROUND
Hey, I ain't as good as I [G]once was
But I'm as [A]good, once, as I [G]ever was[G/F#] [G/E] [D]
