Verse

G                               Em
Well, me & my uncle went ridin' down
      G                    Em
South Colorado, west Texas bound
           G             Em
We stopped over in Sante Fe
               G           G#        A
That bein' the point just about half-way
             G          B7                  Em
And you know it was the hottest part of the day

Verse

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

Verse

G                              Em
West Texas cowboys, they's all around,
                G                    Em
With liquor and money, they's loaded down,
              G                             Em
So soon after pay day, you know it seemed a shame
            G                  G#       A
You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game
           G             B7               Em
High, Low, Jack, and the winner takes the hand.

Verse

G                                     Em
My uncle started winnin', cowboys got sore
            G                        Em
One of them called him, and then two more,
               G                                 Em
Accused him of cheatin', now I know, it couldn't be
          G                  G#        A
I know my uncle, and he's as honest as me
          G                  B7             Em
Yeah, and I'm as honest as a Denver man can be.

Verse

G                                    Em
So one of them cowboys, he starts to draw,
           G                   Em
I shot him down Lord, he never saw,
        G                                Em
Shot me another, that man, he won't grow old.
       G                   G#          A
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold
    G                 B7      Em
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico

Verse

G                                    Em
Now, all those cowboys, out of their gold
         G                   Em
Loved my uncle, God rest his soul
          G                           Em
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
          G          G#           A
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
      G                 B7                         Em
And I left his dead-ass  layin' by the side of the road.
