[Verse 1]

           A                          A
I love the brunets, the red heads and blonde haired gals

        A                          A
Yeah, I done it since I don't know when

          A                 A
Use to go down the line and love 'em all

         A               A          E               A
Then I'd start all over again,  I'd start all over again

[Chorus]

             A                      A
I've got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag

           A                          A
Things are better than they ever have been

       A                        A
Yeah I missed a lotta lovin' in my lifetime

        A                  A         E                  A
But I'm never gonna do it again, I'm never gonna do it again

[Verse 2]

A       A
   As a boy in school I guess I done pretty well

        A                    A
All the girls hung around me then

        A               A
But I'd get shy and I'd let 'em get away

        A                  A         E                  A
But I'm never gonna do it again, I'm never gonna do it again

[Chorus]

             A                      A
I've got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag

           A                          A
Things are better than they ever have been

       A                        A
Yeah I missed a lotta lovin' in my lifetime

        A                  A         E                  A
But I'm never gonna do it again, I'm never gonna do it again

[Verse 3]

            A                          A
I've been a rompin' and a stompin' all over this town

A                                A
Tryin' to find the places you've been

        A                      A
Cause I missed your huggin' at last around

     A                     A         E                A
So I think I'll go 'round again yeah let's go 'round again

[Chorus]

             A                      A
I've got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag

           A                          A
Things are better than they ever have been

       A                        A
Yeah I missed a lotta lovin' in my lifetime

        A                  A         E                 (A)
But I'm never gonna do it again, I'm never gonna do it again
