Verse 1:
D                       C
Well my uncle Don was a hand they say
G                     D
Way back in his bronc riding days
                            C
He was hell on boots with a cowboys heart
G                                D
He’d bare down and he’d spur 'em hard

Verse 2:
D                         C
Was an oklahoma roughneck came through town
G                              D
Bragging bout a horse that for miles around
                          C
No one could ride so they made a little bet
         G                             D
If uncle Don stayed on that horse he’d get


Chorus:
D                                C
Well they opened that shoot gate dust flew high
G                          D
Head on the ground kickin’ straight for the sky
                            C
Bucking and a snorting yeah damn sure rank
      G                         D
Threw everything at him but the kitchen sink
                                    C
When the dust finally settled, they settled on up
      G                                         C
Uncle Don jumped him up in the bed of his truck

Verse 3:
D                            C
Well word spread around like wildfire does
G                   D
One day another old feller showed up
                                 C
Said I know where there’s an ol’ blaze face bay
       G                                 D
That’s throwed everybody ever looked his way
                                   C
Uncle Don just grinned throwed his saddle in the truck
G                                     C D
Drove in to town said load him on up


Chorus:
D                                C
Well they opened that shoot gate dust flew high
G                          D
Head on the ground kickin’ straight for the sky
                            C
Bucking and a snorting yeah damn sure rank
      G                         D
Threw everything at him but the kitchen sink
                                    C
When the dust finally settled, they settled on up
      G                        D
Uncle Don jumped him up in the bed of his truck

That was back in the day when they damn sure bucked
    G                    D
And ol’ uncle Don he was still young enough
                             C
Tougher than leather full of try and grit
    G                               D
And that right there is some cowboy shit
