[Verse 1]
        A        E      A        
I'm an old time saddle maker, 
    A      E     A
South Florida is my home
      A    E        A             Bm
I've often wondered how I came to be
          A             E   A    
With the snakes and the 
        A    E         A
aligators, in a low lagubrious land
      A     E         A         Bm
I've never cared for high humidity


[Chorus]
       D                          
Oh but out in Colorado when I was 
Dsus4  D
but a lad
D                              Bm
Riding in them high and windy hills
  A       E     A                
I met up with a horseman, and he 
A             E        A
said that his name was Link
    A       E       A           
No stranger to them old vaquero 
Bm
skills
D                           E
Well I wanted to learn them old 
            A
vaquero skills


[Verse 2]
     A             E        A    
Jack Link was the strangest 
       A          E      A
feller, I'd known him sixteen years
    A         E      A           
But none the less a cowboy 
       Bm
through and through
     A       E             A     
He'd rope a bronc and he'd pitch 
                    A     E    A
them coils and he'd dally in a wink
          A       E      A       
There was nothing with a rope he 
          Bm
could not do

       D                           
And he taught me about leather, how
    D         Dsus4      D
 to scott and stitch and stem
      D                            
Build saddles on the old committee 
Bm
tree
        A    E      A             
But he also took my money, and he 
A    E       A
also took my car
   A              E        A     
I guess you could say Jack 
   Bm
educated me
D                           
In the ways of the world Jack 
  E        A
educated me

[Verse 3]
      A        E       A         
Fate turns her back on some men, 
       A        E        A
and to some she gives it all
   A        E         A          
To see who stands and who will 
   Bm
run away
  A         E       A            
I know Jack married seven times, 
   A       E        A
he took to drinking hard
    A         E      A            
But more than that I really cannot
 Bm
 say


[Chorus]
          D                 Dsus4 D
The trail ends in Arizona, in 1983
       D                           
With a bar and bet on a bronc that 
         Bm
he could ride
       A         E         A     
But he could not raise the 
           A     E       A
thousand, in his anger and his shame
     A       E        A          
In a cheap motel that night, Jack
      Bm
 Link died
       D             E            
With a pistol to his forehead Jack
      A
 Link died
