GAm
Who was once a bull hooking son of a gun
DG
Now who keeps a pint hid out behind chute number one
Am
Who was ridin high till a pretty girl rode him to the ground
DG
Any kid knows where to find me I'm Bandy the rodeo clown
GAm
In the ridin and the ropin I was closin in on number on
D
Now in dreams at night I ride on that silver saddle I never
G
won. Since she left me the whiskey takes me to the rodeo
AmD
grounds, Where the cowboys think I'm handy I'm Bandy the
G
rodeo clown.
(Chorus)
C
I could ride em all
DG
The bulls and the broncs knew I was boss
A7
But the ride that woman took me on broke a whole lot more
D
Than this old cowboy's bones.
G
While the tears on my makeup melts my painted smile into a
AmD
frown. The crowd thinks I'm a dandy I'm Bandy the rodeo
G
clown
(Repeat chorus and last verse to end)
