[Verse]
G Em
Me and my uncle went a ridin' down
G B7
From Colorado West Texas bound
G Em
We stopped over in Santa Fe
G B7
The part of being about half way
Em B Em
Besides it was the hottest part of the day
[Verse]
G Em
We led our ponies into a stall
G B7
Went to a bar, boys, bought drinks for all
G Em
Two days in the saddle, my body hurt
G B7
And being summer, took off my shirt
Em B Em
And tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
[Verse]
G Em
West Texas cowboys all over town
G B7
With gold and silver, their loaded down
G Em
Just in for round up, you know it seemed a shame
G B7
And so my uncle starts a friendly game
Em B Em
It's "Hi-lo Jack", the winner takes the game
[Verse]
G Em
From the beginning my uncle started to win
G B7
Them Texas cowboys they was mad as sin
G Em
Some said he's cheatin', ah, but that can't be
G B7
Because my uncle, well, he's as honest as me
Em B Em
I'm about as honest as a Denver man can be
[Verse]
G Em
One of them cowboys, you know he started to draw
G B7
I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw
G Em
I had to shoot another now he won't grow old
G B7
In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold
Em B Em
We hightailed it down to Mexico
[Verse]
G Em
God bless cowboys, god bless gold
G B7
God bless my uncle, God rest his soul
G Em
He taught me well, boys, he taught me all I know
G B7
Taught me so well that I grabbed the gold
Em B Em
Left him lying there by the side of the road
