V1:
Em        G                 EmMe and my uncle went ridin' down
            G               EmSouth Color-ado, West Texas bound
           G             EmWe stopped over in Santa Fe
           G                     AThat point being just about half way
    G                   B                   EmAnd you know it was the hottest part of the day

V2:
           G                EmI took the horses up to the stall
            G                           EmWent to the barroom, ordered drinks for all
                  G                        EmThree days in the saddle, you know my body hurt
         G                     AIt bein' summer, I took off my shirt
      G                 B                  EmAnd I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt

V3:
           G                   EmWest Texas cowboys, they's all around
                G                     EmWith liquor and money, they're loaded down
              G                            EmSo soon after payday, you know it seemed a shame
            G                           AYou know my uncle, he starts a friendly game
G                     B               EmHigh-low jack and the winner take the hand

[Solo]

V4:
Em              G                     EmMy uncle starts winnin' - cowboys got sore
            G                       EmOne of them called him and then two more
               G                             EmAccused him of cheatin' - oh no, it couldn't be
          G                         AI know my uncle - he's as honest as me
    G                  B              EmAnd I'm as honest as a Denver man can be

V5:
            G                     EmOne of them cowboys, he starts to draw
           G                    EmI shot him down, Lord, he never saw
          G                               Em       Shot me a-nother, hot damn, he won't grow old
               G                           AAnd in the con-fusion my uncle grabbed the gold
    G                 B            EmAnd we high-tailed it down to Mexi-co

V6:
             G                     EmI love those cowboys, I love their gold
           G                   EmI loved my uncle, God rest his soul
             G                           EmHe taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
             G                    ATaught me so well, I grabbed that gold
      G                 B                        EmAnd I left his dead-ass there by the side of the road
