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
 D
...This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show
                      D7   G
Honey, This ain't my first rodeo


CHORUS REPEAT  to Fade
