[Verse 1]
     Bb           Eb         Bb    F Bb
When I was just a very young lad
Bb                Eb      Bb    F Bb
I walked up and I told my dad
  Eb                     Ab    Eb   Bb Eb
A bareback riders what I wanna be
  Eb                      Ab         Eb   Bb Eb
I want the whole world to know about me
       Ab                Db      Ab      Eb Ab
In the rodeo arena, I'll take my stand
  Ab                  Db    Ab    Eb Ab
I wanna be known as a rodeo man
[Chorus]
          Db                            Ab
I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high
Eb                      Ab
Chaps and boots reachin for the sky
Db                   Ab
Spurrin wild with my head flung back
       Eb                         Ab
You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack
       Eb                         Ab
You'll ask who's that well that's Bareback Jack

[Verse 2]
    Bb               Eb       Bb       F Bb
The years of boyhood now have passed
   Bb                             Eb          Bb     F Bb
It didn't take long I learned the tricks real fast
Eb                                 Ab    Eb     Bb Eb
Now I'm goin down the road with my rodeo gear
      Eb                         Ab         Eb      Bb Eb
And I hope to make the finals in just a few years
    Ab                        Db        Ab      Eb Ab
And when my chance comes I'll give it a whirl
Ab                     Db          Ab      Eb Ab
Try to win the championship of the world
[Chorus]
          Db                            Ab
I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high
Eb                      Ab
Chaps and boots reachin for the sky
Db                   Ab
Spurrin wild with my head flung back
       Eb               Ab
You'll all know me, I'm Bareback Jack
       Eb               Ab
You'll all know me, I'm Bareback Jack

     Bb               Eb       Bb    F Bb
Well here I am, I'm a-layin in bed
    Bb                   Eb      Bb     F Bb
The son of a buck jumped onto my head
      Eb                    Ab          Eb    Bb Eb
I'm a-layin here dyin and a-hurtin real bad
      Eb                Ab        Eb    Bb Eb
And I wish I'd listened to my old dad
        Ab                       Db     Ab       Eb Ab
When he said son you better quit foolin around
     Ab                          Db       Ab       Eb Ab
Your gonna get your guts stomped into the ground
[Alt Chorus]
            Db                             Ab
You'll come flyin from the chute with your tail up high
     Eb                        Ab
That old buckin horse is gonna throw you in the sky
    Db                          Ab
                                             N.C.
And when you come down your gonna break your back
N.C.
Then we'll all know you as Old Crippled Up Jack
N.C.
In a wheelchair with a broken back
