Title: Bandy The Rodeo Clown
Performed by: Moe Bandy
Written by:   Lefty Frizzell
Transcribed by: Kevin Bradbeary   kbradbeary@aol.com



[G]Who was once a bull hooking son of a [Am] gun                  
Now [D] who keeps a pint hid out behind chute number [G]one
Who was ridin high till a pretty girl rode him to the [Am]ground
Any [D]kid knows where to find me I'm Bandy the rodeo [G]clown
                                                                  
[G]In the ridin and the ropin I was closin in on number [Am]on    
Now in [D]dreams at night I ride on that silver saddle I never
[G]won. Since she left me the whiskey takes me to the rodeo
[Am]grounds, Where the [D]cowboys think I'm handy I'm Bandy the
rodeo [G]clown.


(Chorus)


[C]I could ride em all                                            
[D]The bulls and the broncs knew I was [G]boss 
But the [A7]ride that woman took me on broke a whole lot more 
Than this old cowboy's [D]bones.
  
While the [G] tears on my makeup melts my painted smile into a
[Am] frown.  The [D] crowd thinks I'm a dandy I'm Bandy the rodeo
[G] clown


(Repeat chorus and last verse to end)
