Verse 1
CbShe said, "I've seen you in here before."
B GI said, "I've been here a time or two."
CbShe said, "Hello, my name is Bobby Jo.
B GMeet my twin sister Betty Lou.
CbAnd we're both feeling kinda wild tonight.
B GYou're the only cowboy in this place.
FAnd if you're up for a rodeo.
B7 BI'll put a big Texas smile on your face.?
I said, "Girls,"
Chorus 1
CbI ain't as good as I once was
B GI got a few years on me now
Cb BBut there was a time back in my prime
GWhen I could really lay it down
CbAnd if you need some love tonight
B G B/B FmThen I might have just enough
FmI ain't as good as I once was
B Cb Bm Fm GBut I'm as good once as I ever was
Interlude
Cb B G Gsus4 G
Verse 2
CbI still hang out with my best friend Dave
B GI've known him since we were kids at school
CbLast night he had a few shots
B GGot in a tight spot hustlin' a game of pool
CbWith a couple of redneck boys
B GOne great big, bad biker man
FI heard David yell across the room
B7"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand."
BI said, "Dave,"
Chorus 2
CbI ain't as good as I once was
B GMy how the years have flown
Cb BBut there was a time back in my prime
GWhen I could really hold my own
CbBut if you wanna fight tonight
B G B/B FmGuess those boys don't look all that tough
FmI ain't as good as I once was
B Cb Bm Fm GBut I'm as good once as I ever was
Bridge
Bb Cb/FI used to be hell on wheels
GBack when I was younger man
F7Now my body says, "You can't Do this, boy."
B7 BBut my pride says, "Oh, yes you can.?
Chorus 3
CbI ain't as good as I once was
B GThat's just the cold, hard truth
Cb BI still throw a few back, talk a little smack
GWhen I'm feelin' bullet proof
CbSo don't double dog dare me now
B G B/B Fm'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
FmI ain't as good as I once was
B Cb Bm Fm GBut I'm as good once as I ever was
CbMay not be good as I once was
B CbBut I'm as good once as I ever was
Bm Fm G Cb B G Gsus4 G
This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
