VERSE ONE

G

You say you're mama called and you must go

D

She's down in the bed and needs you so

And you don't know if you'll be coming home tonight or not

D7 G

But, honey ain't you're mama sick a lot

VERSE TWO

G

Lately, you're head hurts every night

D

Could it be you wear your cloths too tight

Since you don't seem to hear a thing I say or do

D7 G

Then I know there's nothing I can do for you

CHORUS

G C G

This ain't my first rodeo

D D7

This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed

D

...This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show

D7 G

This ain't my first rodeo

TAGG : INSTRUMENTALLY AS SOLO(following two lines)

D

This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show

D7 G

This ain't my first rodeo

VERSE THREE

G

You're telling me you lost you're wedding band

D

Somehow you say it slipped right off you're hand

And when I asked about those boxes stacked there by the door

D7 G

You say it's just some old things you don't wear no more

VERSE FOUR

G

I didn't make it all the way through school

D

But my mama...didn't raise any fool

I may not be the Einstein... of our time

D7 G

But honey, I'm not dumb and I'm not blind

CHORUS TWO

G C G

This ain't my first rodeo

D D7

This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed

Honey, This ain't my first rodeo
