Key: A major
Verse 1
He said it was true,
something happened to him at the rodeo
He said I'd been drawn
to good kind of horse
Bucking horse riders
ain't the best of doctors
I was takin' a breather
on the floor of the arena
E
A
but my hat started turnin' red
Now, I wasn't a bit aggravated
Right up to the time he decided to
use his hoof for a scalping knife
Keep me from my destiny
D
A
I was sure as hell gonna ride again
E
A
Just as soon as I could see
E

It might all be an act

The thing that makes you a real cowboy

It's what's under the hat
I just pulled my hat down
and looked at the ground
Best I could tell nobody was alerted
Now I was thinkin' fast
about how to conceal my
E
A
that would slow down the leak
So I went up to the first cowgirl
I saw that I thought would understand
borrow something from you
and it's not usually for a man
Verse 2
And she wasn't really that impressed

E
A
He just walks under the hat
Then I put my hat on
and I walked to the chute
I got on to the horse,
grabbed onto the rope
That frock started twirlin' like a top
That'd been sniffin' glue
Em
E
A
and he's like a cold dumped kangaroo
and it sure felt great
when that buzzer for eight
blasted through the whistles
I was so happy that I didn't
even care about
but that hat had come off
and there weren't no hiding
then they all started laughing
E
A
It might all be an act

The thing that makes you a real cowboy

Is what's under the hat
