Chris LeDoux – Bareback Jack (Ukulele)

     G            C          G
When I was just a very young lad

G                 C        G
I walked up and I told my dad

  C                      F     C
A bareback riders what I wanna be

  C                       F          C
I want the whole world to know about me

       G                C       G
In the rodeo arena I'll take my stand

  G                   C     G
I wanna be known as a rodeo man

          C                             G
I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high

D                       G
Chaps and boots reachin for the sky

C                    G
Spurrin wild with my head flung back

        D                         G
You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack

        D                         G
You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack

    G                C        G
The years of boyhood now have passed

G                              C           G
Didn't take long I learned the tricks real fast

C                                  F     C
Now I'm goin down the road with my rodeo gear

C                                F          C
And I hope to make the finals in just a few years

    C                         F         C
And when my chance comes I'll give it a whirl

C                      F           C
Try to win the championship of the world

          F                             C
I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high

G                       C
Chaps and boots reachin for the sky

       G                C
You'll all know me, I'm Bareback Jack

       G                C
You'll all know me, I'm Bareback Jack

     G               C         G
Well here I am, I'm a-layin in bed

    G                    C       G
The son of a buck jumped onto my head

     C                     F            C
I'm a-layin here dyin and a-hurtin real bad

      C                 F         C
And I wish I'd listened to my old dad

        C                        F      C
When he said son you better quit foolin around

     C                           F        C
Your gonna get your guts stomped into the ground

            F                              C
You'll come flyin from the chute with your tail up high

     G                         C
That old buckin horse is gonna throw you in the sky

F                                 C
And when you come down your gonna break your back

G                              C
Then we'll all know you as Old Crippled Up Jack

     G                        C
In a wheelchair with a broken back
