BAREBACK JACK
by CHRIS LeDOUX
Transcribed by Ken Bennett

When Chris did this one he, for some unknown reason, changed keys twice
in each verse. It makes it a little tough to sing depending on the range
of your voice.

D                 G          D    A D
When I was just a very young lad
                  G       D     A D
I walked up and I told my dad
  G                       C       G  D G
A bareback rider's what I want to be
                          C          G  D G
I want the whole world to know about me
       C                F       C     G C
In the rodeo arena I'll make my stand
                      F     C
I wanna be known as a rodeo man
           F                            C
I'll come flying from the chute with my spurs up high
G7                       C
Chaps and boots reachin' for the sky
F                     C
Spurrin' wild with my head throwed back
       G7                         C
You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack
       G7                         C
You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack

D                    G        D      A D
The years of boyhood now have passed
                                  G            D   A D
It didn't take long I learned the tricks real fast
        G                           C     G    D G
Now I'm going down the road with my rodeo gear
                                 C          G     D G
And I hope to make the finals in just a few years
    C                         F         C    G C
And when my chance comes I'll give it a whirl
                           F           C     G C
And try to win the championship of the world
          F                              C
I'll come flying from the chutes with my spurs up high
G7                       C
Chaps and boots reachin' for the sky
F                     C
Spurrin' wild with my head throwed back
       G7                    C
You'll all know me my name's Bareback Jack
        G7                       C
You'll all know me my name's Bareback Jack

D                  G         D   A D
Well here I am I'm layin' in bed
                         G       D   A D
The son of a buck jumped onto my head
    G                     C            G   D G
I'm layin' here dyin' and hurtin' real bad
                        C         G    D G
Now I wish I'd listened to my old dad
        C                          F       C      G C
When he said son you'd better stop foolin' around
                                   F        C      G C
You're gonna get your guts stomped into the ground
            F                                C
You'll come flyin' from the chutes with your tail up high
     G7                         C
That old buckin' horse is gonna throw you in the sky
F                               C
When you come down you're gonna break your back
          G7                  C
And we'll all know you as old crippled up jack
     G7                 C
In a wheel chair with a broken back
