D7D7
If there ever was a way to rate a man
G7G7
On a cowboy scale of one to ten
A7A7
Kinda like you would a women or a chili pepper
G7G7
A augmentedA one ain’t hot, but a ten’ll stop your ticker
D7D7

Less about the out, more about the within
G7G7
On this cowboy scale of one to ten

But I got a feelin’ he’s nev r stepped in none
G7G7
And on th? cowboy scale that puts him down around a one
D7D7
Now the guy in the ball cap, the t-shirt, and dirty ol’ jeans

Got a dozen gold buckles that you’ll probably never see

On your cowboy scale of one to ten
