I've seen some horses in my time but never one to buck

   G7                                          C
As well as old Aristocrat with him I've had no luck

I seem to hear young Lance again as he gets up and cry


                                        F
Come 'round and listen all you boys who think that you can ride

Bring your knee pad saddles I'll give a tenner flat

   F            C           G7                C
If you can stay ten seconds on my horse Aristocrat


                             F
He's thrown them in the east thrown then in the west

C                                                 G7
Thrown them in the north where the riders are the best

C                        F
Seen him throw them high seen him lay 'em flat

                                   F                  C
While he rode he cracked a whip to show what he could do

   F            C             G7                C
He went so high we understand he cut a cloud in two

Another guy came in to try he walks up to the chutes

   G7                                      C
He had a cowboy saddle and a pair of fancy boots

He landed on his head and now he's just five foot and no more


                             F
He's thrown them in the east thrown then in the west

C                                                 G7
