Me And My Uncle

• G

Enjoy the following selection from John Denver's "Wildlife Concert"  
  
(G) Me and my Uncle went a ridin (Em) down  
From Colo (G) rado, West Texas (Em) bound  
We stopped (G) over in Sante (Em) Fe, 
Part it (G) being  about half A way  
(Em) Besides it was the (B) hottest part of the (Em)  day  

(B Em) 
  
(G) We led our ponies into the (Em) stall  
Went to a (G) bar boys bought drinks for (Em) all  
Two days in the (G) saddle, my body (Em) hurt  
It being (G) summer, I took off my A shirt  
And (Em) tried to wash off (B) some of that dusty (Em) dirt  
  
(B Em)  

(G) West Texas cowboys all over (Em) town  
With gold and (G) silver, they're loaded (Em) down  
Just in from (G) round up you know it seemed a (Em) shame  
So my (G) Uncle starts a friendly A game  
(A Em) hollow jack the (B) winner takes the (Em) gain  
  
(B Em)  

(G) From the beginning my Uncle started to (Em) win  
Them Texas (G) cowboys they was as mad as (Em) sin  
Some said he's (G) cheatin', ah but that can't (Em) be  
Because my (G) Uncle, he's as honest as A me  
And (Em) I'm about as honest as a (B) Denver man can (Em) be  
  
(B Em)  

(G) One of them cowboys you know he started to (Em) draw  
I grabbed a (G) bottle, slapped him on the (Em) jaw  
I had to shoot (G) another, now he won't grow (Em) old  
In the (G) confusion, my Uncle grabbed the A gold  
And (Em) we hightailed it (B) down to Mexi (Em) }co  
...Mexico...way down to Mexico  

(B Em)   

instrumental verse  
  
(G) God bless cowboys, God bless (Em) gold  
God bless my (G) Uncle, God rest his (Em) soul  
He taught me (G) well Lord, taught me all I (Em) know  
Taught me so (G) well, that I grabbed the A gold  
(Em) Left him lying (B) there by the side of the (Em) road  
  
(B Em)  
  
I hope you all enjoyed that on.
