(you Ain't A Cowboy) If You Ain't Been Bucked Off

• C

Capo 4

Intro: C 

C 
I was mindin' my business and holdin' the fort 
    F 
And I still remember how you sallied forth 
       C 
And my mind, it was busy, warnin' my heart 
           F                         Bb                C 
But, hell, you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off 


The story's familiar, the oldest tale in the west 
  F 
I fell into love then the bird left the nest 
       C 
Well I guess that there's reasons we let our hard hearts go soft 
    F                         Bb                C 
And you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off 

        F                                  C 
There's all kinds of horses will leave you grabbin' the breeze 
F                            C 
Busted up and broken up with scars you can't see 
           Fm                             C 
But if you ain't been bucked off and been throwed a few times 
   Fm                               C 
It don't count for nothin' when you make that last ride 

Fm Gm Fm C (3x)

         C 
Well the years have passed quickly and ain't nothin's the same 
     F 
Only I don't feel different and you've hardly changed 
       C 
Well I guess what I'm sayin' is I'll give one last nod 
       F                         Bb                C 
'Cause you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off 
     F                          Bb                C 
Nahh you ain't a cowboy, if you ain't been bucked off
