Intro: Am  C  E7  Am

          Am         E7     Am
Me and my Uncle came riding down,
         C                E7
From Colorado, West Texas Bound,
       Am             E7    Am
And we stopped off in Santa Fe,
               C               E7
That being the place about halfway
      Am               E7                  Am
And besides it was the hottest part of the day

           Am       E7   Am
We led our horses into a stall
            C                         E7
Went to the bar room, got drinks real tall
                Am         E7   Am
Two days in the saddle, my body hurt
         C                   E7
It being summer, took off my shirt
    Am                E7                    Am
And tried to wash off some of that dust and dirt

(break)

           Am          E7   Am
West Texas cowboys all over town
              C                      E7
With gold and silver, they're loaded down
             Am           E7       Am
Just in from round-up, it seemed a shame
          C                       E7
And so my Uncle starts a friendly game
         Am                     E7               Am
And it's high low Jacks and the winner takes the gain


          Am             E7        Am
From the beginning, near starts to end
           C                        E7
Them Texas cowboys, they just can't win
              Am             E7         Am
Some say he's cheating, well that can't be
           C                     E7
Because my Uncle, he's honest as me
    Am                 E7             Am
And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be

          Am         E7        Am
One Texas cowboy, he starts to draw
            C                          E7
I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw
        Am         E7         Am
I shot another, he won't grow old
          C                         E7
In the confusion, Uncle grabbed the gold
    Am                E7          Am
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico

(break)

              Am(slowly)             E
Now God bless cowboys, and God bless gold
             C                   E7
God bless my Uncle, and rest his soul
             Am                          E7
He taught me well, boys, taught me all I know
             C(faster)                 E7
Taught me so well, boys, I grabbed the gold
      Am             E7     Am             E7
And I left him lying there, left him lying there
Am             E7                       Am
Left him lying there by the side of the road
