As Good As I Once Was

I've seen this mdone with the same chord with a capo on two, but I like it better this
way, trey both and see wich you like better.

INTRO:   

VERSE:
                                      
She said, "I seen you in here before."
                                              
I said, "I been here a time or two."
                                       
She said,"Hello my name is Bobby Jo,
                    
meet my twin sister betty lou.
                                       
And we're both feelin' kinda wild tonight,
                       
you're the only cowboy in this place.
                      
And if you're up for a rodeo,
                     
I'll put a big texas smile on your face."

I said "girls....."

CHORUS:
                                      
I ain't as good as I once was
            
I got a few years on me now
                              
But there was a time, back in my prime
                    
When I could really lay it down
                                        
If you need some love tonight
                        
Then I might have just enough
                                       
I ain't as good as I once was,
                                       
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was

BREAK   

VERSE:
                                      
I still hang out with my best friend Dave
                                              
I've known him since we were kids at school
                                       
Last night he had a few shots,
             
Got in a tight spot
                             
Hustlin' a game of pool
                       
With a couple of redneck boys
                      
One great big fat biker man
                     
I David yell across the room

"Hey buddy, how bout a helpin' hand?"

I said Dave.....

CHORUS:
                                      
I ain't as good as I once was
            
My how the years have flown
                              
But there was a time, back in my prime
                    
When I could really hold my own
                                        
If you want to fight tonigh
                                       
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
                     
I ain't as good as I once was,
                                       
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was

BRIDGE:
                          
I used to be hell on wheels
                  
Back when I was a younger man
                  
Now my body say's you can't do this boy
                      
But my pride say's oh yes you can

CHORUS:
                                      
I ain't as good as I once was
            
Thats just the cold hard truth
                                            
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack
                    
When I'm feelin bullet proof
                                        
So don't double dog dare me now
                                  
Cause I'd have to call your bluff
                     
I ain't as good as I once was,
                                       
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was

TURNAROUND
                     
Hey, I ain't as good as I once was
                                       
But I'm as good, once, as I ever was
