	Am
	Me and my Uncle went a ridin down

	C	E
>From Colo	rado, West Texas	bound

	Am
We stopped	over in Sante Fe,

	C	E
Part it	being about half	way

	Am	E	Am
	Besides it was the	hottest part of the	day

	Am
	We led our ponies into the stall

	C	E
Went to a	bar boys bought drinks for	all

	Am
Two days in the	saddle, my body hurt

	C	E
It being	summer, I took off my	shirt

	Am	E	Am
And	tried to wash off	some of that dusty	dirt

	Am
	West Texas cowboys all over town

	C	E
With gold and	silver, they're loaded	down

	Am
Just in from	round up you know it seemed a shame

	C	E
So my	Uncle starts a friendly	game

	Am	E	Am
A	hollow jack the	winner takes the	gain

	Am
	From the beginning my Uncle started to win

	C	E
Them Texas	cowboys they was as mad as	sin

	Am
Some said he's	cheatin', ah but that can't be

	C	E
Because my	Uncle, he's as honest as	me

	Am	E	Am
And	I'm about as honest as a	Denver man can	be

	Am
	One of them cowboys you know he started to draw

	C	E
I grabbed a	bottle, slapped him on the	jaw

	Am
I had to shoot	another, now he won't grow old

	C	E
In the	confusion, my Uncle grabbed the	gold

	Am	E	Am
And	we hightailed it	down to Mexi	co

...Mexico...way down to Mexico

instrumental verse

	Am
	God bless cowboys, God bless gold

	C	E
God bless my	Uncle, God rest his	soul

	Am
He taught me	well Lord, taught me all I know

	C	E
Taught me so	well, that I grabbed the	gold

	Am	E	Am
	Left him lying	there by the side of the	road

I hope you all enjoyed that on.
