[F#] [Em] Me and [G] my uncle
Went [Em] riding down
South [G] Colorado
West [Em] Texas bound
We [G] stopped over in Santa [Em] Fe
Not being [G] the point
Just about [A] halfway
[G] Well, you know
[F#] Took [Em] [F#]
[G] the horses
up to [Em] the stalls
Went [G] to the ballroom
And ordered drinks and [Em] we're off
Three days [G] in the saddle
Well, you know my [Em] body hurt
It's [G] been summer
And I took off [A] my shirt
And [G] I tried to wash
[F#] off some of that [Em] dusty dirt
West Texas [G] cowboys
Pigs on [Em] the ground
With liquor [G] and money
They're loaded [Em] down
So soon [G] after payday
Now it seems [Em] a shame
[E] You know [G] my uncle
He starts a friendly [A] game
[G] Well, a high-low jacket
The waiter [Em] takes the hand
[G] Well, we started winning
Cowboys [Em] got sore
One of [G] them called him
That meant [Em] he'd mourn
He was a [G] little cheat
Well, you know
Well, this [Em] couldn't be
I [G] know my uncle
And he is as [A] honest as me
Well, [G] I'm as [B] honest
As a Denver [Em] man could be

[Em] [G]
[F#m]
[G] [B] [Em]
So one of them cowboys
They starts to draw
I shot him down low
He never saw
Shot [G] me another
Well, that meant he
Weren't [Em] thrown low
In the confusion
Try to grab [A] the dough
Well, we high [B]-tailed it down to [Em] Mexico
Now [G] all those cowboys
Without [Em] their gold
Well, [G] my uncle
God rest [Em] his soul
Taught [G] me good, Lord
Well, he taught me all [Em] I know
Taught [G] me so well
That I [A] grabbed that gold
[G] That I left his dead ass
There by the [Em] side of the road
