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'
