Chords with lyrics
C majorC FF
I was sittin' in a bar room one rainy afternoon
C majorC FF
Tellin' stories about a rodeo and listenin' to a tune
C majorC FF
The rodeo starts tomorrow in this one horse town
G7G7 FF C majorC
So Bill took our names and put our entries down
C majorC FF
I went to the rodeo office the next day to see
C majorC FF
What bareback horse I had and to pay my fees
C majorC FF
I looked across the list but my name wasn't to be found
G7G7 FF C majorC
I thought Bill just might have forgot to put me down
C majorC FF
I looked across the board and I happened to find
C majorC FF
My name was on another list I was in the bull ridin'
C majorC FF
My knees began to knock and my face began to sweat
G7G7 FF C majorC
And I heaved and gagged on the rodeo office step
C majorC FF
Well I may be a fool but a coward I'm not
C majorC FF
So I borrowed myself a bull rope with a bell in the knot
C majorC FF
I walked into the arena with them other bull ridin' fools
G7G7 FF C majorC
I walked down the chutes and finally found my bull
C majorC FF
Then I put my rope in the middle of his back
C majorC FF
And had some cowboy pull up the slack
C majorC FF
Then I wrapped the tail around my hand and back
G7G7 FF C majorC
And said boys open that gate just a little bitty crack
C majorC FF
Well the bull hit the gate with his head
C majorC FF
And I could see over his hump that his eyes were red
C majorC FF
He bailed out of there with a big snort and beller
G7G7 FF C majorC
And something inside me told me I was yeller
C majorC FF
Well the dust and hair and flies from off of his hump
C majorC FF
Did wisk to my nose as he made another jump
C majorC FF
And the stink of it all was more than I could stand
G7G7 FF C majorC
So I jerked my wrap and opened up my hand
C majorC FF
Well he jumped in the air and he made one more turn
C majorC FF
And as the rope slid through my hand it sure did burn
C majorC FF
He flung me down in a great big heap
G7G7 FF C majorC
Then right in the middle of me he did leap
no chord C majorC FF
With his feet in my belly a standin' in place
C majorC FF
That dirty filthy old bull blew snot in my face
C majorC FF
So them damned old bulls you can run'em in a chute
C majorC FF
And put your ropes on them big galloots
C majorC FF
But the closest you're gonna find me to their stinkin' hair
G7G7 FF C majorC
Is to help some other fool get flung in the air
