Me And My Uncle

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        
And you know it was the hottest 
          Em
part of the day

[Verse]
           G                Em
I took the horses up to the stall
            G                      
Went to the barroom, ordered drinks
     Em
 for all
                  G                
Three days in the saddle, you know 
        Em
my body hurt
         G                  G# A
It bein' summer, I took off my shirt
      G                 B7        
And I tried to wash off some of 
         Em
that dusty dirt

West Texas cowboys, they's all 
 Em
around
                G             
With liquor and money, they're 
        Em
loaded down
              G                  
So soon after payday, you know it 
          Em
seemed a shame
            G                 
You know my uncle, he starts a 
       G# A
friendly game
G                     B7         
High-low jack and the winner take
     Em
 the hand

[Solo]

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

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

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