Me And My Uncle by John Phillips
Me And My Uncle
Capo:4th fret
(key of C#m)
Intro: Am C E7 Am
Am E7 Am
Me and my Uncle came riding down,
C E7
From Colorado, West Texas Bound,
Am E7 Am
And we stopped off in Santa Fe,
C E7
That being the place about halfway
Am E7 Am
And besides it was the hottest part of the day
Am E7 Am
We led our horses into a stall
C E7
Went to the bar room, got drinks real tall
Am E7 Am
Two days in the saddle, my body hurt
C E7
It being summer, took off my shirt
Am E7 Am
And tried to wash off some of that dust and dirt
(break)
Am E7 Am
West Texas cowboys all over town
C E7
With gold and silver, they’re loaded down
Am E7 Am
Just in from round-up, it seemed a shame
C E7
And so my Uncle starts a friendly game
Am E7 Am
And it’s high low Jacks and the winner takes the gain
Am E7 Am
From the beginning, near starts to end
C E7
Them Texas cowboys, they just can’t win
Am E7 Am
Some say he’s cheating, well that can’t be
C E7
Because my Uncle, he’s honest as me
Am E7 Am
And I’m as honest as a Denver man can be
Am E7 Am
One Texas cowboy, he starts to draw
C E7
I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw
Am E7 Am
I shot another, he won’t grow old
C E7
In the confusion, Uncle grabbed the gold
Am E7 Am
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico
(break)
Am(slowly) E
Now God bless cowboys, and God bless gold
C E7
God bless my Uncle, and rest his soul
Am E7
He taught me well, boys, taught me all I know
C(faster) E7
Taught me so well, boys, I grabbed the gold
Am E7 Am E7
And I left him lying there, left him lying there
Am E7 Am
Left him lying there by the side of the road
