Intro: Am    Dm    Am    Dm 
 
Verse 1. 
Am 
Eight seconds ain't very long to live 
      Dm 
But tonight he barely made five 
Am 
He gave all that he had to give 
        E 
But the big bull won tonight 
    Am 
He climbs into that old pickup 
       Dm 
Black coffee in his hands 
        Am 
Well a rodeo ain't no ordinary life 
       E                       Am 
But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man 
 
         Dm 
Well he rides just to keep his spirit alive 
        Am 
Makin' money for his wife and kids 
    Dm 
He tried other kinds of work 
     E 
But nothing ever seemed to fit 
       Dm 
Oh he loves the smell of a Brahma bull 
             Am             Dm 
The feel of leather in his hands 
      Am 
Well Rodeo ain't no ordinary life 
       E7                      Am 
But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man
 
 
Verse 2. 
He's got a gold buckle on his mind 
And he don't ride to lose 
Tomorrow night he'll nod and yell outside 
And they'll turn his future loose 
No matter how bad he hurts 
He'll tip his hat to the fans 
Rodeo ain't no ordinary life 
But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Ending:* (Acapella) 
 
Ain't no ordinary 
                              Am    Dm    E    Am    Dm   Am 
He's an extra ordinary man 
 
(*)At the end of the second chorus, on the last line after 'but a cowboy', 
go down to ending. The ending is sung acapella. If you don't understand what 
I mean, buy the CD!
