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

[Verse]
                  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                             G#  A
It bein' summer, I took off my shirt
          G                           B7                         Em
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt

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

[Solo]

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

[Verse]
                      G                                 Em
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw
                  G                                 Em
I shot him down, Lord, he never saw
                   G                                                  Em
Shot me a-nother, hot damn, he won't grow old
                          G                                      G#  A
And in the con-fusion my uncle grabbed the gold
       G                            B7                  Em
And we high-tailed it down to Mexi-co

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