So don't double dog dare me now
C         F     C/E  Dm
'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
           Gm

But I'm as good once as I ever was

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
