[Verse 1]
AmWell I was sitting in a cEmoffee shop
just having a Gcup to pass the Amtime
Amswapping rodeo Emstories with this old Gcowboy friend of Ammine.
AmWhen some motorcycle Criders started Dmsnickering in the back
Amstarted poking Emfun at my friend's Amhat.
[Verse 2]
AmOne old boy said "Emhey Tex, Gwhere'd you park your horse"Am  
AmMy friend just pulled his Emhat down low, Gbut they couldn't be ignored.Am  
AmOne husky fella Csaid "I think I'll rip that hat Dmright off your head".
AmThat's when my friend turned around, Emand this is what he said..Am.
[Chorus]
AmYou'll ride a black Ctornado Dmacross a western sky.
AmRope an old blue Cnorthern and Emmilk it 'till it's dry.
AmBulldog the MissisCsippi, Dmpin its ears down flat
AmLong before you Emtake this cowboy's Amhat.
[Verse 3]
AmNow partner, Emthis old hat's Gbetter left alone.Am  
AmYou see, it used to be my daEmddy's, Gbut last year he passed Amon.
AmMy nephew skinned the Crattler that makes up this Dmold hat band.
AmBut back in '69, Emhe died in Vietnam.Am  
[Verse 4]
AmNow the eagle feather was givEmen to me by an GIndian friend of mine.Am  
AmSomeone ran him dEmown somewhere around that GArizona line.Am  
AmAnd a real special Clady give me this hat Dmpin,
AmAnd I don't know if EmI'll ever see her Amagain.
[Chorus]
AmYou'll ride a black Ctornado Dmacross a western sky.
AmRope an old blue Cnorther and Emmilk it 'till it's dry.
AmBulldog the MissisCsippi, Dmpin its ears down flat
AmLong before you Emtake this cowboy's Amhat.
[Verse 5]
AmNow if your leather Emjacket means to you what this Ghat means to me,Am  
Amthen I guess we uEmnderstand each other, and we'll Gjust let it be.Am  
AmBut if you still think it's Cfunny, Man, Dmyou got my back up against the wall,
AmAnd if you touch my hat, Emyou're gonna have to fight us all.Am  
[Verse 6]
AmWell right then I caught Ema little sadness in that gGang leader's eyes.Am  
AmHe turned back to the Emothers and they all just kind of Gshuffled on outside.Am  
AmBut when my friend turned baCck towards me DmI noticed his old hat brim
Well it was Amturned up in a Embig old Texas grin!Am  
[Chorus]
AmYou'll ride a black Ctornado Dmacross a western sky.
AmRope an old blue Cnorther and Emmilk it 'till it's dry.
AmBulldog the MissisCsippi, Dmpin its ears down flat
AmLong before you Emtake this cowboy's Amhat.
