CAPO : 3 Fret INTRO: Strum the VERSE ONE You say you're mama called and you must go She's down in the bed and needs you so And you don't know if you'll be coming home tonight or not But, honey ain't you're mama sick a lot VERSE TWO Lately, you're head hurts every night Could it be you wear your cloths too tight Since you don't seem to hear a thing I say or do Then I know there's nothing I can do for you > This ain't my first rodeo This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed ...This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show This ain't my first rodeo TAGG : INSTRUMENTALLY AS SOLO(following two lines) This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show This ain't my first rodeo VERSE THREE You're telling me you lost you're wedding band Somehow you say it slipped right off you're hand And when I asked about those boxes stacked there by the door You say it's just some old things you don't wear no more VERSE FOUR I didn't make it all the way through school But my mama...didn't raise any fool I may not be the Einstein... of our time But honey, I'm not dumb and I'm not blind CHORUS TWO This ain't my first rodeo This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed ...This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show Honey, This ain't my first rodeo CHORUS REPEAT to Fade Note: Tabbed this Vern Gosdin song in memory of my friend, Gilbert Lamar Carter ,who died today Feb 1, 2003. Lamar loved Vern's music....RIP Lamar,...Nemo
