Chorded by Egg Flipper (2012)


[Verse]
Em        G                 Em
Me and my uncle went ridin' down
            G               Em
South Color-ado, West Texas bound
           G             Em
We stopped over in Santa Fe
           G                G#   A
That point being just about half way
    G                   B7                  Em
And you know it was the hottest part of the day

[Verse]
           G                Em
I took the horses up to the stall
            G                           Em
Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all
                  G                        Em
Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt
         G                  G# A
It bein' summer, I took off my shirt
      G                 B7                 Em
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt

[Verse]
           G                   Em
West Texas cowboys, they's all around
                G                     Em
With liquor and money, they're loaded down
              G                            Em
So soon after payday, you know it seemed a shame
            G                        G# A
You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game
G                     B7              Em
High-low jack and the winner take the hand

[Solo]

[Verse]
Em              G                     Em
My uncle starts winnin' - cowboys got sore
            G                       Em
One of them called him and then two more
               G                             Em
Accused him of cheatin' - oh no, it couldn't be
          G                      G# A
I know my uncle - he's as honest as me
    G                  B7             Em
And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be

[Verse]
            G                     Em
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw
           G                    Em
I shot him down, Lord, he never saw
          G                               Em
Shot me a-nother, hot damn, he won't grow old
               G                       G#  A
And in the con-fusion my uncle grabbed the gold
    G                 B7           Em
And we high-tailed it down to Mexi-co

[Verse]
             G                     Em
I love those cowboys, I love their gold
           G                   Em
I loved my uncle, God rest his soul
             G                           Em
He taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
             G                G#  A
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
      G                 B7                       Em
And I left his dead-ass there by the side of the road
