As Good As I Once Was

	  		INTRO: A B E   
   
                            A                
She said, "I?ve seen you in here before."   
B                      E                          
I said, "I been here a time or two."   
E7                          A                
She said, "Hello my name is Bobby Jo   
B                   E   
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou   
E7                           A             
And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight   
B                      E   
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   
B           E   
I got a few years on me now   
E7              A               B   
But there was a time back in my prime   
                    E   
When I could really lay it down   
E7                A                         
If you need some love tonight   
B                 E    B   C#m   
Then I might have just enough   
                     Fm                     
I ain't as good as I once was   
           B              A         E   
But I'm as good once as I ever was?  
  
                         A  
I still hang out with my best friend Dave  
B                            E   
I've known him since we were kids at school   
E             A  
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   
B                  E  
One great big, bad biker man   
                   F#  
I heard David yell across the room   
                        B     C#m  B 
"Hey buddy, how ?bout a helpin' hand?"   
   
I said ?Dave??   
   
(Chorus)  
  
                     A  
I ain't as good as I once was   
B          E  
My how the years have flown   
E7              A               B  
But there was a time back in my prime   
                    E  
When I could really hold my own   
E7             A  
If you want to fight tonight   
B                           E        B   C#m    
Guess those boys don't look all that tough   
                     Fm  
I ain't as good as I once was   
           B              A         E  
But I'm as good once as I ever was?   
   
  
BRIDGE:   
             D                      
I used to be hell on wheels   
A                 E   
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   
B               E  
That?s just the cold hard truth   
E7                  A                    B  
I still throw a few backs, talk a little smack   
                 E  
When I'm feelin? bullet proof   
E7                  A  
So don't double dog dare me now   
B                 E         B  C#m  
Cause I'd have to call your bluff   
                       
                       
                     Fm  
I ain't as good as I once was   
           B              A   
But I'm as good once as I ever was   
E                    A  
May not be good as I once was   
           B              A        E  
But I'm as good once as I ever was?
