ME AND MY UNCLE<\/span><\/p>\n

[INTRO INSTRUMENTAL] Am C D Dm Am<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[V1]
\n<\/span>Am C E#7
\n<\/span>ME AND MY UNCLE WENT RIDIN’ DOWN FROM COLORADO, SOUTH TEXAS BOUND
\n<\/span>Am C G
\n<\/span>AND WE STOPPED OFF IN SANTA FE, BEIN\u2019 A POINT THAT\u2019S JUST ABOUT HALF WAY
\n<\/span>Am E#7 Am
\n<\/span>AND BESIDES IT WAS THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY<\/span><\/p>\n

[V2]
\n<\/span>WE LEAD OUR PONIES INTO A STALL
\n<\/span>WENT TO THE BAR BOYS, BOUGHT DRINKS FOR ALL
\n<\/span>THREE DAYS IN THE SADDLE, MY BODY HURT
\n<\/span>IT BEING SUMMER, I TOOK OFF MY SHIRT
\n<\/span>TRIED TO WASH OFF SOME OF THAT DUST AND DIRT<\/span><\/p>\n

[V3]
\n<\/span>SOUTH TEXAS COWBOYS, ALL OVER TOWN
\n<\/span>WITH GOLD AND SILVER, THEY WAS LADEN DOWN,
\n<\/span>JUST BACK FROM ROUNDUP, AND NOT ASHAMED,
\n<\/span>SO MY UNCLE, HE STARTS A FRIENDLY GAME,
\n<\/span>It WAS HIGH-LOW JACK AND THE WINNER TAKES THE HAND.<\/span><\/p>\n

[V4]
\n<\/span>FROM THE BEGINNIN\u2019
\n<\/span>MY UNCLE STARTS WIN,
\n<\/span>THEM TEXAS COWBOYS GETS MAD AS SIN,
\n<\/span>SOME SAID HE WAS CHEATIN’
\n<\/span>BUT THAT CAN\u2019T BE,
\n<\/span>CAUSE MY UNCLE, HE’S AS HONEST AS ME,
\n<\/span>AND THAT\u2019S JUST ABOUT AS HONEST AS A DENVER MAN CAN BE.<\/span><\/p>\n

[V5]
\n<\/span>THEN ONE OF THEM COWBOYS HE STARTS TO DRAW,
\n<\/span>I TOOK A BOTTLE, CRACKED HIM ON THE JAW
\n<\/span>I WINGED ANOTHER, HE WON\u2019T SEE OLD,
\n<\/span>IN THE CONFUSION, MY UNCLE GRABBED THE GOLD,
\n<\/span>AND WE HIGHTAILED DOWN THAT ROAD TO MEXICO.<\/span><\/p>\n

[V6]
\n<\/span>SO HERE\u2019S TO COWBOYS, AND HERE\u2019S TO GOLD,
\n<\/span>HERE\u2019S TO MY UNCLE, GOD REST HIS SOUL,
\n<\/span>HE TAUGHT ME WELL BOYS, TAUGHT ME ALL I KNOW,
\n<\/span>TAUGHT ME SO WELL BOYS, THAT I TOOK HIS GOLD.
\n<\/span>AND I LEFT HIM HALF DEAD LAYIN\u2019 BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD<\/span><\/p>\n
