E---------



  G
I learned back when I was six
C
Teachin' my stick horse to do tricks
G                       D 
Puttin' on a backyard rodeo
       G
If I'd make him buck, hoop and holler
C
Grandma'd laugh and give me a dollar
       G                       D        G 
Its a lesson that I learned, all on my own



Chorus:
           G                       D
Gotta be a trick rider, can't be a part-timer
              Am             C           D
If he's gonna make a dollar, one thing I know
             G                   D            D/C  D/B
You can be a fancy roper, have a wild desire
       Am    C/B   C      D          G
Oh the trick rider always steals the show



I figured out just how to please 'em
Make the hard ones look so easy
Out there is the spot light all alone
I always tried to do my best
I praticed hard and faked the rest
They always got their money's worth everywhere I'd go

Chorus


Instrumental


I've been thrown off many times since then
I always got back on again
I found that if I tipped my hat for style
Folks out there would never know
They'd think it was part of the show
I could ride off in the sunset
Leave 'em with a smile

Chorus

Yeah, a Trick rider always steals the show
