Me And My Uncle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][C][E]
[Am]Me and my uncle
[E]went riding dow[Am]n
South Col[C]orado, West [E]Texas bound
We [Am]stopped [E]over in Santa [Am]Fe
That being the [C]point just [E]about half way
And [Am]you [E]know it was the
hottest part of the [Am]day

[Verse 2]
I took [E]the horses up to the [Am]stall
Went to the [C]bar- room, ordered
drinks [E]for all
Three days in the [Am]saddle,
[E]you know my body [Am]hurt
It being [C]summer, I took [E]off my shirt
And I [Am]tried to wash [E]off some
of that dusty [Am]dirt

[Verse 3]
West [Am]Texas cowboys, [E]they's all [Am]around
With liquor [C]and money, they're
loaded [E]down
So soon [Am]after [E]pay day, you
know it seemed a shame
[Am]You know my un c[C]le,
he starts a [E]friendly game
[Am]High- Low Jacks and
[E]the winner take [Am]the hand

[Verse 4]
My [E]uncle starts winning,
[Am]cowb[C]oys got sore
One of them called [E]him, and
then two more
Accused him of cheating,
well no it [Am]couldn't be
I know my uncle, he's as [E]honest as me
And I'm [Am]as honest as a Denver man
[E]can [Am]be
[E]One of them cowboys, [Am]he starts to draw [C]Well I shot him

[Verse 5]
[E]
down, Lord, he
never saw
Shot me another,
hot damn he won't grow old
[Am]In t[C]he confusion my uncle grabbed
[E]the gold
And we high- tailed [Am]it down to Mexico
Now [E]I love those cowboys,

[Verse 6]
I love their gold
[Am]I love my uncl[E]e,
[C]God[E] rest his soul
Taught me [Am]good, Lord,
[E]taught me all I know
[Am]Taught me so well, I gra[E]bbed that gold
And I left his [Am]dead [E]ass[Am]
[E]there by the side [Am]of the road
