 1st Verse 

          A             D          A       A    E7   A
     When I was just a very young lad
        A                D      A        A    E7   A          
     I walked up and I told my dad
        D                 G              D       D   A7  D
     A bareback rider's what I want to be
        D               G                   D    D   A7  D                  
     I want the whole world to know about me
              G               C       G         G   D7  G 
     In the rodeo arena I'll take my stand
        G                  C      G          G   D7  G
     I wanna be known as a rodeo man
     
                  
 1st Chorus
    
        G          C                            G
       I'll come flying from the chute with my spurs up high
       D7                G        
     Chaps and boots reachin' for the sky
       C                     G 
     Spurrin' wild with my head thrown back
        D                                G
     You'll ask who's that well that' Bareback Jack
       D                                 G
     You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack

 2nd Verse

          A                D         A        A  E7  A
     The years of boyhood now have passed
         A                             D           A       A  E7  A                         
     It didn't take long I learned the tricks real fast
       D                                    G     D       D  A7  D
     Now I'm going down the road with my rodeo gear
            D                           G          D      D  A7  D                    
     And I hope to make the finals in just a few years
          G                         C           G       G  D7  G
    And when my chance comes I'll give it a whirl
         G                      C             G       G  D7  G             
    And try to win the championship of the world

      D7                G
    Chaps and boots reachin' for the sky
       C                    G
    Spurrin' wild with my head thrown back
       D                            G
    You'll all know me my name's Bareback Jack

    You'll all know me my name's Bareback Jack

        A                D        A     A  E7  A  
    Well here I am I'm layin' in bed
          A                   D        A    A  E7  A             
    The son of a buck jumped onto my head
          D                     G           D     D  A7  D
    I'm layin' here dyin' and hurtin' real bad
            D                G         D       D  A7  D          
    Now I wish I'd listened to my old dad
         G                               C        G      G  D7  G
    When he said son you'd better quit foolin' around
            G                            C          G     G  D7  G
    You're gonna get your guts stomped into the ground

      G            C                               G
     You'll come flying from the chutes with your tail up high
      D7                              G            
    That old buckin' horse is gonna throw you in the sky
      C                               G
    When you come down you're gonna break your back......
        
    And we'll all know you as old crippled up jack
   
    And that'll be all for old Bareback Jack
