Me And My Uncle chords

Hey everyone, I'm gonna do a cowboy song now.
This one's written by John Phillips, and it was done by the Grateful Dead.
The song is Me and My Uncle.
[G]
[Em] Me [G] and my uncle went [Em] riding down
South [G] Colorado, West [Em] Texas bound
We [G] stopped over in [Em] Santa Fe
That [G] being the point, just about [A] half way
Hey, [Em] and you know it [B] was the hottest [Em] part of the day
And I took [G] the horses up to [Em] the stall
[G] Went to the bar room, ordered drinks for [Em]
all
Three [G] days in the saddle, you know my [Em] body hurt
It [G] been summer, I took off [A] my shirt
And [Em] I tried to [B] wash off some of that [Em] dusty dirt
West [G] Texas cowboys, things [Em] all around
Weed, [G] liquor, and money, they [Em] loaded down
So soon [G] after payday, no it [Em] seemed a shame
And you [G] know my uncle, he starts a [A] friendly game
[Em] A high and low jack [B] and a winner to take [Em] the hand

[G] Uncle starts winning, the cowboys [Em] got sore
[G] One of them called him, and then [Em] two more
[G] Accused him of cheating, oh no, [Em] it couldn't be
I know [G] my uncle, he's as [A] honest as me
[Em] Hey, and I'm as honest [B] as a denver [Em] man can be
[G]
One of them cowboys, he [Em] stopped to draw
And I shot him [G] down, Lord, he [Em] never saw
[G] Shot me another, and that man, he [Em] won't grow old
In [G] the confusion, my uncle grabbed [A] the gold
[Em] Hey, and we high [B]-tailed it down to [Em] Mexico
You know [G] I love those cowboys, [Em] I love the gold
I love [G] my uncle, God [Em] rest his soul
Taught [G] me good, Lord, and taught me all I [Em] know
He [G] taught me so well, I grabbed [A] that gold
And [Em] I left his dead [B] ass there by the [Em] side of the road
[Eb] Me and my uncle, Grateful Dead.
See you next time.
