[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G]
[C][Gm]
[G]I

[Verse 1]
walked behind the chute,
stapped my spurs to my boots
At that [C]big Rodeo in Chey[G]enne.
[C]Feelin' tired and sore for
a [G]ride the day before,
And [A]a thousand other rides since I [D]began.

[Verse 2]
As [G]I climbed up the gate I heard
that young cowboy sayin',
Well, that ole [C]man ain't gonna ride,
and I had to [G]smile.[C][G]
I said [C]son it ain't age that
[G]makes me look this way,
[C]It ain't the[G] years boy[D]...[G]it's the miles.

[Verse 3]
It ain't [C]the years that I've known
that have taken their toll,
'Cause they've been [G]few.[D][Dm][G]
If [C]you took all the mashin's, the
draggin's and the crashin's,
You'd [A]probably look the same way [D]I do.

[Verse 4]
It's the mil[G]lion miles of road,
and gettin' snatched around and throwed,
That fi[C]nally put the cramp in my [G]style.[C]
It [G]ain't [C]the yea[G]rs boy[D]...[G]it's the miles.
[C]
[G][C][G][A]
[D][G][C]
[G][C][G][C][G][D]
[G]
Went on and made my ride,
only scored a 65.

[Verse 5]
But [C]you know what really
made my day complete,
[G]Was when I l[C]ooked up just in time to see
that [G]young cowboy goin' flyin',
And [A]land in a pile at [D]my feet.
And as the [G]first aid came to haul him away,
I [C]said son you'll be

[Verse 6]
Allright in a little [G]while.
He's on his [C]way to findin'
out [G]what it's all about.
[C]It ain't the[G] years boy[D]...[G]it's the miles.
It ain't [C]the years that I've known
that've taken their toll.

[Verse 7]
'Cause they've been [G]few.[D][G]
If [C]you took all the mashin's, the draggin's, and
the crashin's, you'd
[A]Probably look the same way I [D]do.
It's the mil[G]lion miles of road of gettin'
snatched around and throwed,

[Verse 8]
That [C]fi nally put the cramp
in my [G]style.[C]
It ain't age that [G]made
me look this [C]way,
It ain't [G]the years [D]boy, it's [G]the miles.[C]
It ain't age that [G]makes
me look this [C]way,

[Verse 9]
It ain't [G]the years [D]boy, it's the miles.
[G]
