As Good As I Once Was Cifras

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
                         C             D
She said, "I seen you in here before."
                       G
I said, "I been here a time or two."
                           C             D
She said,"Hello my name is Bobby Jo,
                    G
meet my twin sister Betty Lou.
                             C          D
And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight,
                       G
you're the only cowboy in this place.
                       A
And if you're up for a rodeo,
                     D
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face."
 
I said, "Girls....."
 
 
[Chorus]
                     C                 D
I ain't as good as I once was
            G
I got a few years on me now
                C                D
But there was a time, back in my prime
                    G
When I could really lay it down
                 C                       D
If you need some love tonight
                   G    G/B  Em
Then, I might have just enough
                     C
I ain't as good as I once was,
           D                C            G
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was

[Verse 2]
                         C             D
I still hang out with my best friend. Dave
                               G
I've known him since we were kids at school
                          C
Last night he had a few shots,
                D
Got in a tight spot
            G
Hustlin' a game of pool
                 C            D
With a couple of redneck boys
                   G
One great big fat biker man
             A
I David yell across the room
                        D
"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helpin' hand?"
 
I said Dave.....
 
 
[Chorus]
                     C                 D
I ain't as good as I once was
            G
My, how the years have flown
                C              D
But there was a time, back in my prime
                    G
When I could really hold my own
                 C                       D
If you want to fight tonight
                            G    G/B  Em
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
                     C
I ain't as good as I once was,
           D                C            G
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was
 
 
[Bridge]
             F             C
I used to be hell on wheels
                  G
Back when I was a younger man
                   A
Now, my body say's, "You can't do this, boy."
                      D
But my pride say's "Oh, yes you can."
 
 
[Chorus]
                     C                 D
I ain't as good as I once was
            G
Thats just the cold hard truth
                              C              D
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack
                    G
When I'm feelin' bullet proof
                 C                       D
So don't double-dog dare me, now
                            G    G/B  Em
'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
                     C
I ain't as good as I once was,
           D                C            G
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was
 
[Turnaround]
                     C
May not be good as I once was
           D                C            G
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was
