You Aint A Cowboy If You Aint Been Bucked Off Chords - The Corb Lund Band

{c: Capo 4}

E E I was mindin' my business and holdin' the fort A And I still remember how you sallied forth E And my mind, it was busy, warnin' my heart A D E But, hell, you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off The story's familiar, the oldest tale in the west A I fell into love then the bird left the nest E Well I guess that there's reasons we let our hard hearts go soft A D E And you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off A E There's all kinds of horses will leave you grabbin' the breeze A E Busted up and broken up with scars you can't see Am E But if you ain't been bucked off and been throwed a few times Am E It don't count for nothin' when you make that last ride Am Bm Am E 3x Am Bm Am B In acoustic version:

E Well the years have passed quickly and ain't nothin's the same A Only I don't feel different and you've hardly changed E Well I guess what I'm sayin' is I'll give one last nod A D E 'Cause you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off A D E Nahh you ain't a cowboy, if you ain't been bucked off
