Ten Seconds In The Saddle

C                         F      
His Stetson was faded and 
      C
battered and worn
    F              C
The stubble of his beard showed 
flecks of gray
    F                        C    
His limp was severe ?cause a leg 
        Am
had been torn
     D                   G
By a bronc, in his rodeo days
   C                              
He hung round the chutes while we 
F         C
waited to mount
       F             C
With a vague look of longing in his 
eyes
   F                        C     
He spoke very few words but he 
       Am
made ''em count
       C            G           C
He was broken, for- -gotten but wise

[Chorus]
        Am                         
He said life''s is just like 
  C            Am
ridin'' broncs its a battle

        F                      
Then he rolled a cigarette with 
       G
shaky hands
        F                    C    
See son I''d gladly take ten 
          Am
seconds in the saddle
      F           G               
For a lifetime of watching from 
  C
the stands

Instrumental: Same as at the start

C                       F        
I noticed the cigarette burns on 
    C
his vest
        F             C
And the remnants of a dream left in 
his eyes
    F                           
The boys said that he could have 
 C             Am
well been the best
        D                         
Had not fate, cheated him, of his 
G
prize
       C                        F 
Ah but I learned a lesson, that 
         C
I''d never known
           F                       
From this guy who'd been busted so 
 C
bad
      F                   C       
It''s better to ride even if you 
   Am
get throwed
        C             G           
Than to wind up, just wishing you 
C
had

Chorus
        Am                         
He said life''s is just like 
  C            Am
ridin'' broncs its a battle
        F                      
Then he rolled a cigarette with 
       G
shaky hands
        F                    C    
See son I''d gladly take ten 
          Am
seconds in the saddle
      F           G               
For a lifetime of watching from 
  C
the stands
