G                            Em
Me and my Uncle went a ridin down  
          G                Em
From Colo rado, West Texas bound  
           G             Em
We stopped over in Sante Fe, 
        G
Part it being  about half A way  
Em                 B                   Em
Besides it was the hottest part of the day  
B Em

G                          Em
We led our ponies into the stall  
          G                          Em
Went to a bar boys bought drinks for all  
                G               Em
Two days in the saddle, my body hurt  
         G
It being summer, I took off my A shirt  
    Em                B                  Em
And tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt  
B Em

G                           Em
West Texas cowboys all over town  
              G                      Em
With gold and silver, they're loaded down  
             G                             Em
Just in from round up you know it seemed a shame  
      G              
So my Uncle starts a friendly A game  
A Em            B                Em
hollow jack the winner takes the gain  
B Em  

G                                      Em
From the beginning my Uncle started to win  
           G                          Em
Them Texas cowboys they was as mad as sin  
               G                           Em
Some said he's cheatin', ah but that can't be  
           G
Because my Uncle, he's as honest as A me  
    Em                       B              Em
And I'm about as honest as a Denver man can be  
B Em  

G                                          Em
One of them cowboys you know he started to draw  
            G                          Em
I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw  
               G                          Em
I had to shoot another, now he won't grow old  
       G 
In the confusion, my Uncle grabbed the A gold  
    Em               B            Em
And we hightailed it down to Mexico  

...Mexico...way down to Mexico  
B Em   
instrumental verse  
G                            Em
God bless cowboys, God bless gold  
             G                   Em
God bless my Uncle, God rest his soul  
             G                          Em
He taught me well Lord, taught me all I know  
             G
Taught me so well, that I grabbed the A gold  
Em             B                        Em
Left him lying there by the side of the road  
B Em
  
I hope you all enjoyed that on.
