[Verse 1]
---------------------
Em   G        G                   Em
  Me and my uncle went riding down
            G                   Em
South Colorado, West Texas bound
            G              Em
We stopped over in Santa Fe
                    G                A
That being the point just about half way
    Em                  B7                     Em
And you know it was the hottest part of the day

[Verse 2]
---------------------
              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                          A
It being summer, I took off my shirt
      Em                B7                     Em
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt

[Verse 3]
---------------------
              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, know it seemed a shame
              G                             A
You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game
    Em               B7                  Em
Highlow jack and the winner take the hand

[Verse 4]
---------------------
                G                    Em
My uncle starts winning; cowboys got sore
            G                            Em
One of them called him, and then two more
                    G                         Em
Accused him of cheating; oh no, it couldn't be
            G                        A
I know my uncle, he's as honest as me
    Em               B7                 Em
And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be

[Verse 5]
---------------------
            G                         Em
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw
                    G                 Em
And I shot him down, lord he never saw
           G                              Em
Shot me another, oh damn he won't grow old
          G
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold
A    Em               B7            Em
 And we hightailed it down to Mexico

[Verse 6]
---------------------
                G                      Em
I love those cowboys, I love their gold
             G                 Em
I loved my uncle, god rest his soul
                G                         Em
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
          G                           A
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
      Em                B7                           Em
And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road
Yeah
