As Good As I Once Was

Intro: G A D

                            G
She said, "I've seen you in here before."
A                      D
I said, "I been here a time or two."
                            G
She said, "Hello my name is Bobby Jo
A                   D
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou
                             G
And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight
A                      D
You're the only cowboy in this place
                       E
And if you're up for a rodeo
                     A
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face."

I said "girls'"

(Chorus)
                     G
I ain't as good as I once was
A           D
I got a few years on me now
                G               A
But there was a time back in my prime
                    D
When I could really lay it down
                 G
If you need some love tonight
A                 D    A   Bm
Then I might have just enough
                     G
I ain't as good as I once was
           A              G         D
But I'm as good once as I ever was'

                         G
I still hang out with my best friend Dave
A                            D
I've known him since we were kids at school
                        G
Last night he had a few shots
               A
Got in a tight spot
                D
Hustlin' a game of pool
                 G
With a couple of redneck boys
A                  D
One great big, bad biker man
                   E
I heard David yell across the room
                        A
"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helpin' hand'"

I said 'Dave''

(Chorus)

                     G
I ain't as good as I once was
A          D
My how the years have flown
                G               A
But there was a time back in my prime
                    D
When I could really hold my own
               G
If you want to fight tonight
A                           D        A   Bm
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
                     G
I ain't as good as I once was
           A              G         D
But I'm as good once as I ever was'

BRIDGE:
             C
I used to be hell on wheels
G                 D
Back when I was a younger man
                 E
Now my body says you can't do this boy
                     A
But my pride says oh yes you can'

(Chorus)

                     G
I ain't as good as I once was
A               D
That's just the cold hard truth
                    G                    A
I still throw a few backs, talk a little smack
                 D
When I'm feelin' bullet proof
                    G
So don't double dog dare me now
A                 D         A  Bm
Cause I'd have to call your bluff

                     G
I ain't as good as I once was
           A              G
But I'm as good once as I ever was
D                    G
May not be good as I once was
           A              G        D
But I'm as good once as I ever was'
