[Intro]
D G A7 D
[Verse 1]
D D7 G I was almost full grown, getting wide in the shoulders, rubbing my horns on a tree A7 D When I noticed that ladies had big eyes for cowboys, they weren't noticing me D7 G I bought me a Stetson and all of the trappings, hung out where cowboys all gathered D A7 D I copied their style and their slow way of talking, walked like I was chafed by the leather D7 G I tasted the smiles of the rodeo queens and I lied about rides that I'd made A7 D Then a honker from Jasper I'd been lusting after said, "I'll be out to watch you today" D7 G Oh, the rigging was borrowed but the fear was my own, it was me and all hell tied together D A7 D D7 Too damn scared to fall, boys, I won it all, and that's how I got my first feather
[Chorus]
G D A feather for every event that I've won A7 D D7 I will be a contender forever G D An all-around cowboy, I outrode 'em all A7 D And I got me a hat full of feathers
[Interlude]

A7 D
[Verse 2]
D D7 G Well, I feathered my hat through a lot of hard miles, swapped bruises in a lot of good towns A7 D Lord, how many cowboys and ladies and broncs have left me laid out on the ground, I don't know D7 G I've had every bone broken and son, I ain't joking, it's painful to be wired together D A7 D D7 I ain't quite so proud as I was a while ago, but I got me a hat full of feathers
[Chorus]
G D A feather for every event that I've won A7 D D7 I will be a contender forever G D An all-around cowboy, I outrode 'em all A7 D D7 And I got me a hat full of feathers G D A feather for every event that I've won A7 D D7 And all of the storms I have weathered G D An all-around cowboy, holding my own A7 D With a shabby ol' hat full of feathers
[Outro]
G D
