     C                        G       C             A                       G          D  G  D
Well first you got to want to get off bad enough to wanna get on him in the first place

        C                    G
And you better trust in your lady luck

                     A                    G        D
Pray to God that she don't give up on you right now
[Chorus]
     C         Bm         Em   A  Em  G  D  G  Em
Live fast, die young bull rider
[Verse 2]
C                                                  A                       G          Em  G  Em
One hand hold is all you got it's you and the bull against the clock and a cross crowd

    C                                           A             D             G  Em
And once upon a spinning to nothing else you've ever done can pull this way

       G
You're just outside the bucking shoot

C                                       G            D  G  Em
Lose a spur, you lose your seat and you lose yourself

   C
By now he's bucking mean and dirty

G                A                G             D  G  Em
Slinging mud and cowboy boots and kicking clowns
[Chorus]
   C         Bm        Em   A  Em  G  D  G  Em
No fools, no fun, bull rider
[Verse 3]
              D
You've got to feel the way he's moving, you've got to watch his head

    C
And brace yourself for anything that a friend of you might dread

    D               A              D
You know the art of hanging loose, hanging just as tight

             C                                                 D
Well there's something like a hurricane who's dancing with the kite
[Bridge] C Bm Em A Em G Em G Em [Verse 4]
          C        G
Well, the rodeo is more than rough

                                                   Em  G  D
It's a fact of life it's tough to cut his fever ass

     C                 G
It's drinking beer and pulling trailers

C              D                   G           D  G  Em
Tighten may on barreled razors and horse's buck
[Chorus]
   C         Bm        Em   A  Em  G  Em
No rides, no pay, bull rider

     C         Bm         Em   A  Em  G  D  C    Bm
Live fast, die young bull rider

       Em   A  Em  G    C    Bm    C  Em  A  Em  G  C
