Chris Ledoux - Bull rider

^DI was sittin' in bar room one ^Grainy afternoon Tellin' ^Astories about rodeo and ^Dlistening to a tune The rodeo starts tomorrow in this ^Gone horse town So ^AJoe (or name of your choice) took our names and ^Dput our entries down. I went to the office the ^Gnext day to see What ^Abareback horse I had and to p^Day my fees. I looked on the list but my ^Gname wasn't found I thought ^AJoe might of forgot to ^Dput me down. Well, I looked on the board and ^GI happened to find, My ^Aname was on another list, I ^Dwas in the Bull Riding. My knees began to knock and my ^Gface began to sweat, Then I ^Aheaved and gagged on the ^Drodeo office steps. Well, I may be a fool but a ^Gcoward I'm not, So I ^Aborrowed a bull rope with a ^Dbell in the knot. I walked in the arena with them ^Gother bullridin' fools, Walked ^Adown the chutes, and ^Dfound my bull. Then I put my rope in the ^Gmiddle of his back, Then ^Dhad some cowboy ^Gpull up the slack, Then I ^Dwrapped the tail around my ^Ghand and back, And said &^Aquot;Boys, open the gate ju^Dst a little bitty crack!". Well, the bull hit the gate^G with his head And I could ^Asee over his hump that his ^Deyes was red. He bailed outta there with a big^G snort and a beller' And ^Asomethin' inside me told ^Dme I was yeller' The dust and hair and ^Gflies from off his hump, Did ^Awhisk to my nose as he ^Dmade another jump. And the stink of it all was more^G than I could stand, So I ^Ajerked my wrap, and ^Dopened my hand. Well, he jumped through air as he ^Gmade one more turn, That ^Arope slid through my hand it ^Dsure did burn. He flang me down in a ^Ggreat big heap, And ^Aright in the middle of me ^Dhe did leap. D(strum once) G(strum once) With his feet on my belly, standing in place, A(strum once) D(strum once) That dirty ole' bull, blew snot in my face. Well, them ^Ddanged ole bulls you can ^Grun 'em the chutes, ^DPut your ropes on them ^Gbig gallutes, But the ^Dclosest your gonna find me to their ^Gstinkin' hair, Is to ^Ahelp some other fool get ^Dflung in the air. ^{A D}
