■  ■   Me And My Uncle
G                    Em         
Me and my uncle went ridin' down
G              Em                 
South Colorado ■  West Texas bound
G                  Em      
We stopped over in Santa Fe
     G                                   A
That bein' the point just about half way ■
                B7                      Em      Em7
And you know it was the hottest part of the day ■  
Em        G                Em       
■  I took the horses up to the stall
        G                          Em     
Went to the barroom ordered drinks for all
              G                      Em       
Three days in the saddle you know my body hurt
                G                     A7
It bein' summer ■ I took off my shirt ■ 
A                                    Em7       
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt


[Chorus]
     G                        Em    
When Texas cowboys they's all around
     G                     Em         
With liquor and money they loaded down
        G                    Em            
So soon after payday know it seemed a shame
         G                    A            
You know my uncle he starts a friendly game
                                     E7  
Highlow jack and the winner take the hand

[Verse]
         G                      E7      
My uncle starts winnin' cowboys got sore
       G                        Em      
One of them called him and then two more
        Em7    G                 Em7      Em
Accused him of cheatin' Oh no it couldn't be
       G                       A7   
I know my uncle he's as honest as me
A       B7                    E7      Em7
And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be 


[Chorus]
    G                         Em7    
One of them cowboys he starts to draw
Em            G                         
■  And I shot him down Lord he never saw
Em                                  G         
Well I grabbed a bottle cracked him in the jaw
                                 Em      
Shot me another oh damn he won't grow old
                 G                    A7   A A7
In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold ■ ■ 
       G                     Em    
And we hightailed it down to Mexico
Em7 Em        G               Em             
■   ■  I love those cowboys I love their gold
        G            Em           
I loved my uncle God rest his soul
G                             Em        
Taught me good Lord Taught me all I know
             G              A         A7
Taught me so well I grabbed that gold ■ 
                    B7                    G          
And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road
