>
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
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
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
G A D
You're the 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
G A D
Yes I'm the All Around Cowboy of 1964
