[Am] Me [G] and my uncle went [Em] riding down South [G] Colorado, old [Em] Texas bound.
We [G] stopped over in [Em] Santa Fe, that's [G] been for just [A] about half way.
[Em] And you know [B] it was the hottest [Em] part of the day.
And I [G] took the horse head up [Em] to the stall.
Went to the [G] fire room, water, [Em] drink for all.
Three days in the [G] saddle, you know [Em] my body hurt.
[G] It been summer, I took [A] off my shirt.
[Em] And I tried to [B] wash off some of [Em] that dusty dirt .
Went to ask the [G] cowboy, well [Em] there's all around.
We [G] had liquor and money, they [Em] loaded down.
So [G] soon after that day, you know [Em] it seemed strange.
[G] You know my uncle, he started [A] playing a game.
[Em] There's a hollow [B] jack and a winner [Em] take the hand.

He used [G] to be cheating, oh no, get [Em] ready baby.
I [G] know my uncle, he's an [A] honest man.
[Em] Then time's [B] on, says the gentleman [Em] will be .
One [F#m] [G] of them cowboys, he [Em] starts to draw.
And I [G] shot him down, he [Em] never saw.
[G] Shocked he never laughed and he [Em] won't go.
[G] He's a confusion, mind the [A] breath folks.
[Em] And we high [B] tailed it down to [Em] Mexico .
I let [G] loose, careful, I [Em] let it go.
Love my [G] uncle, God [Em] rest his soul.
Trust me [G] good Lord, trust me [Em] all I know.
[G] Love him so well, I got [A] that gold.
[Em] I let loose, get [B] out, fell by the side [Em] of the road.
