Me and My Uncle Chords by Grateful Dead

[Verse]
Em B7 Em        G             Em         
■  ■  ■  Me and my uncle went ridin' down
         G                   Em   
To South Colorado West Texas bound
                Em7    Em      
We stopped over ■   in Santa Fe
            G                   A      
That day on the pony just about halfway
Em              Em7                     Em     
And you know it was the hottest part of the day
      G                     Em       
And I took the horses up to the stall
        Em7 G                      Em7    
Went to the barroom ordered drinks for all
           G                         Em       
Three days in the saddle you know my body hurt
G                          A       
It being summer I took off my shirt
G     Em                                       
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt


[Chorus]
                            G   Em    
West Texas cowboys they was all around
      G                     Em         
Wheat liquor and money they loaded down
              G            Em             Em7
So soon after payday no it seemed a shame ■  
                                    A7       A
You know my uncle he starts playin' the game ■
A7      Em      B7                       Em

My uncle start winning the cowboys got sore
       Em                               
One of them called him and then two more
            Em                              
Accused him of cheatin' oh no it couldn't be
       G        Em7            A7   
I know my uncle he's as honest as me
Em                                                       
Hey now I'm as honest as a Denver man can be that's right


[Chorus]
    Em7                       Em      Em7
One of them cowboys he starts to draw ■  
           Em                        
And I shot him down Lord he never saw
G                                 Em      
Shot me another hot damn he won't grow old
G                                     A7  
In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold
Em                                B7
And we hightail it down to Mexico ■ 


[Verse]
Em            G7              Em             
■  Now I love those cowboys I love their gold
     Em                        
Love my uncle God rest his soul
G                                 Em    
Taught me good Lord taught me all I know
G                        A                
Taught me so well that I grabbed that gold
Em                                                     E7 Em
