Intro: ABEA
She said, "I?ve seen you in here before."
BE
I said, "I been here a time or two."
E7A
She said, "Hello my name is Bobby Jo
BE
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou
E7A
And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight
BE
You're the only cowboy in this place
F#
And if you're up for a rodeo
B
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face."
I said "girls?"
(Chorus)
A
I ain't as good as I once was
BE
I got a few years on me now
E7AB
But there was a time back in my prime
E
When I could really lay it down
E7A
If you need some love tonight
BEBC#m
Then I might have just enough
Fm
I ain't as good as I once was
BAE
But I'm as good once as I ever was?
A
I still hang out with my best friend Dave
BE
I've known him since we were kids at school
EA
Last night he had a few shots
B
Got in a tight spot
E
Hustlin' a game of pool
A
With a couple of redneck boys
BE
One great big, bad biker man
F#
I heard David yell across the room
BC#mB
"Hey buddy, how ?bout a helpin' hand?"
I said ?Dave??
(Chorus)
A
I ain't as good as I once was
BE
My how the years have flown
E7AB
But there was a time back in my prime
E
When I could really hold my own
E7A
If you want to fight tonight
BEBC#m
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
Fm
I ain't as good as I once was
BAE
But I'm as good once as I ever was?
Bridge:
D
I used to be hell on wheels
AE
Back when I was a younger man
F#
Now my body says you can't do this boy
B
But my pride says oh yes you can?
(Chorus)
A
I ain't as good as I once was
BE
That?s just the cold hard truth
E7AB
I still throw a few backs, talk a little smack
E
When I'm feelin? bullet proof
E7A
So don't double dog dare me now
BEBC#m
Cause I'd have to call your bluff
Fm
I ain't as good as I once was
BA
But I'm as good once as I ever was
EA
May not be good as I once was
BAE
