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 

>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)

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

                                     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

Honey, This ain't my first rodeo
