Me and My Uncle John Phillips/John Denver (klr)
[Am] Me and my Uncle went a ridin down >From Colo [C] rado, West Texas [E] bound We stopped [Am] over in Sante Fe, Part it [C] being about half [E] way [Am] Besides it was the [E] hottest part of the [Am] day
[Am] We led our ponies into the stall Went to a [C] bar boys bought drinks for [E] all Two days in the [Am] saddle, my body hurt It being [C] summer, I took off my [E] shirt And [Am] tried to wash off [E] some of that dusty [Am] dirt
[Am] West Texas cowboys all over town With gold and [C] silver, they're loaded [E] down Just in from [Am] round up you know it seemed a shame So my [C] Uncle starts a friendly [E] game A [Am] hollow jack the [E] winner takes the [Am] gain
[Am] From the beginning my Uncle started to win Them Texas [C] cowboys they was as mad as [E] sin Some said he's [Am] cheatin', ah but that can't be Because my [C] Uncle, he's as honest as [E] me And [Am] I'm about as honest as a [E] Denver man can [Am] be
[Am] One of them cowboys you know he started to draw I grabbed a [C] bottle, slapped him on the [E] jaw I had to shoot [Am] another, now he won't grow old In the [C] confusion, my Uncle grabbed the [E] gold And [Am] we hightailed it [E] down to Mexi [Am]co ...Mexico...way down to Mexico
instrumental verse
[Am] God bless cowboys, God bless gold God bless my [C] Uncle, God rest his [E] soul He taught me [Am] well Lord, taught me all I know Taught me so [C] well, that I grabbed the [E] gold [Am] Left him lying [E] there by the side of the [Am] road
