Bobby Bare – Chester (Guitar)

   C                F            G               C
He says that in his younger days he rode the rodeos

F                                                   G
But now he tends the gardens of the folks up on the hill

C                 F            G                  C
Buckin' broncs and Brahma bulls and only once been throwed

D                                      G
But it left him with a gimpy leg and a thirst that he can't fill

       F                   G                  C
In his Frisco jeans and an old Can't Bust 'Em shirt

F              G               C
Acme Roughouts run down at the heels and caked with dirt

F                     G                     C        C/B    C/A  C/G
Sweat stained Stetson pulled down low and a leg that always hurts

F                   G                  C
Frisco jeans and an old Can't Bust 'Em shirt

D                   G           A                    D
He says that in his younger days he rode with ol' Pontrel

       G                                                      A
But he never never let him put his name or his picture in the book

  D                  G                A             D
He sends us down for Beech-Nut and he sips his muscatel

E                            A
And says you know boys I'm a whole lot older than I look

     D                  G             A                   D
He's known his share of women and he's dealt his share of cards

G                                                           A
And he pitched some pennies with us he never carries change

    D               G         A                D
And as he clips the hedges and waters down the yard

E                                                A
He says this sure is a far sight from that, that wild buffalo range

       G                   A                  D
In his Frisco jeans and an old Can't Bust 'Em shirt

G              A               D
Acme Roughouts run down at the heels and caked with dirt

G                     A                     D        D/C#    D/B  D/A
Sweat stained Stetson pulled down low and a leg that always hurts

G                   A                  D
Frisco jeans and an old Can't Bust 'Em shirt

G                   A                  D
