Thirteen Silver Dollars

[Primera Parte]

G
It was a cold and cruel evening
          C              G
Sneaking up on Speedy Creek
              D                G
Found myself asleepin' in the snow

For one or two odd reasons
        C            G
I ain't too proud to repeat
   A                               
For now we'll say I had no place to
 D
 go
G
There was a rustle and a humming
      C                 G
Just hauling down the street
                D            G
I drew myself up from my icy bed
G                           
Painted on that shiny car the 
           C        G
letters 'RCM and P'
G                     D          
I can feel a little aching in my 
G
head

G
And then out jumps this old boy

      C                 G
About twice the size of me
                  D                
He asked me for my name and where I
 G
 dwelt

I just looked him in the eye
               C            G
And sang 'Blue Yodel Number 9'
A                              
He didn't catch the reference, I 
          D
could tell

G
Then the old, familiar click
         C                 G
And the handcuffs bind and grip
                           D    
Should have left me in the snow, 
          G
where I laid

G
He just laughed and touched his gun
           C
And turned to me and said
G                          D
Son, I bet you don't own a damn 
thing
G
To your name

               C
Well, I got my health
             G
My John B Stetson
      D                            
Got a bottle full of baby's 
  G
bluebird wine
              C
And I left my stash
                  G
Somewhere down in Preston
           D                       
Along with thirteen silver dollars 
        G
and my mind
