G5                            E5
Me and my Uncle went a ridin down  
          G5                E5
From Colo rado, West Texas bound  
           G5             E5
We stopped over in Sante Fe, 
        G5
Part it being  about half A way  
E5                 B5                   E5
Besides it was the hottest part of the day  
B5 E5

G5                          E5
We led our ponies into the stall  
          G5                          E5
Went to a bar boys bought drinks for all  
                G5               E5
Two days in the saddle, my body hurt  
         G5
It being summer, I took off my A shirt  
    E5                B5                  E5
And tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt  
B5 E5

G5                           E5
West Texas cowboys all over town  
              G5                      E5
With gold and silver, they're loaded down  
             G5                             E5
Just in from round up you know it seemed a shame  
      G5              
So my Uncle starts a friendly A game  
A5 E5            B5                E5
hollow jack the winner takes the gain  
B5 E5  

G5                                      E5
From the beginning my Uncle started to win  
           G5                          E5
Them Texas cowboys they was as mad as sin  
               G5                           E5
Some said he's cheatin', ah but that can't be  
           G5
Because my Uncle, he's as honest as A me  
    E5                       B5              E5
And I'm about as honest as a Denver man can be  
B5 E5  

G5                                          E5
One of them cowboys you know he started to draw  
            G5                          E5
I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw  
               G5                          E5
I had to shoot another, now he won't grow old  
       G5 
In the confusion, my Uncle grabbed the A gold  
    E5               B5            E5
And we hightailed it down to Mexico  

...Mexico...way down to Mexico  
B5 E5   
instrumental verse  
G5                            E5
God bless cowboys, God bless gold  
             G5                   E5
God bless my Uncle, God rest his soul  
             G5                          E5
He taught me well Lord, taught me all I know  
             G5
Taught me so well, that I grabbed the A gold  
E5             B5                        E5
Left him lying there by the side of the road  
B5 E5
  
I hope you all enjoyed that on.
