Bareback Jack
Chris Ledoux

     G            C          G
When I was just a very young lad
G                 C        G
I walked up and I told my dad
  C                      F     C
A bareback riders what I wanna be
  C                       F          C
I want the whole world to know about me

       G                C       G
In the rodeo arena I'll take my stand
  G                   C     G
I wanna be known as a rodeo man
          C                             G
I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high
D                       G
Chaps and boots reachin for the sky
C                    G
Spurrin wild with my head flung back
        D                         G
You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack
        D                         G
You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack

    G                C        G
The years of boyhood now have passed
G                              C           G
Didn't take long I learned the tricks real fast
C                                  F     C
Now I'm goin down the road with my rodeo gear
C                                F          C
And I hope to make the finals in just a few years

    C                         F         C
And when my chance comes I'll give it a whirl
C                      F           C
Try to win the championship of the world
          F                             C
I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high
G                       C
Chaps and boots reachin for the sky
       G                C
You'll all know me, I'm Bareback Jack
       G                C
You'll all know me, I'm Bareback Jack

     G               C         G
Well here I am, I'm a-layin in bed
    G                    C       G
The son of a buck jumped onto my head
     C                     F            C
I'm a-layin here dyin and a-hurtin real bad
      C                 F         C
And I wish I'd listened to my old dad

        C                        F      C
When he said son you better quit foolin around
     C                           F        C
Your gonna get your guts stomped into the ground
            F                              C
You'll come flyin from the chute with your tail up high
     G                         C
That old buckin horse is gonna throw you in the sky
F                                 C
And when you come down your gonna break your back
G                              C
Then we'll all know you as Old Crippled Up Jack
     G                        C
In a wheelchair with a broken back
