[Verse 1]
Bb She said, "I've seen you in here before." C F I said, "I've been here a time or two." Bb She said, "Hello, my name is Bobby Jo. C F Meet my twin sister Betty Lou. Bb And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight. C F You're the only cowboy in this place. G And if you're up for a rodeo. C C7 I'll put a big Texas smile on your face."
I said, "Girls,"
[Chorus 1]
Bb I ain't as good as I once was C F I got a few years on me now Bb C But there was a time back in my prime F When I could really lay it down Bb And if you need some love tonight C F C/E Dm Then I might have just enough Gm I ain't as good as I once was C Bb Am Gm F But I'm as good once as I ever was

[Verse 2]
Bb I still hang out with my best friend Dave C F I've known him since we were kids at school Bb Last night he had a few shots C F Got in a tight spot hustlin' a game of pool Bb With a couple of redneck boys C F One great big, bad biker man G I heard David yell across the room C "Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand." C7 I said, "Dave,"
[Chorus 2]
Bb I ain't as good as I once was C F My how the years have flown Bb C But there was a time back in my prime F When I could really hold my own Bb But if you wanna fight tonight C F C/E Dm Guess those boys don't look all that tough Gm I ain't as good as I once was C Bb Am Gm F But I'm as good once as I ever was
[Bridge]
Eb Bb/D I used to be hell on wheels F Back when I was younger man G7 Now my body says, "You can't do this, boy." C C7 But my pride says, "Oh, yes you can."
[Chorus 3]
Bb I ain't as good as I once was C F That's just the cold, hard truth Bb C I still throw a few back, talk a little smack F When I'm feelin' bullet proof Bb So don't double dog dare me now C F C/E Dm 'Cause I'd have to call your bluff Gm I ain't as good as I once was C Bb Am Gm F But I'm as good once as I ever was Bb May not be good as I once was C Bb But I'm as good once as I ever was

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
