Grateful Dead - Me and my uncle

^EmMe and my ^Guncle went ridin' ^Emdown South Color-^Gado, West Texas ^Embound We stopped ^Gover in Santa ^EmFe That point ^Gbeing just about half ^Away And ^Gyou know it was the ^Bhottest part of the ^Emday

I took the ^Ghorses up to the ^Emstall Went to the ^Gbarroom, ordered drinks for ^Emall Three days in the ^Gsaddle, you know my body ^Emhurt It bein' ^Gsummer, I took off my ^Ashirt And I ^Gtried to wash off ^Bsome of that dusty ^Emdirt

West Texas ^Gcowboys, they's all ^Emaround With liquor and ^Gmoney, they're loaded ^Emdown So soon after ^Gpayday, you know it seemed a ^Emshame You know my ^Guncle, he starts a friendly ^Agame ^GHigh-low jack and the ^Bwinner take the ^Emhand

^EmMy uncle starts ^Gwinnin' - cowboys got ^Emsore One of them ^Gcalled him and then two ^Emmore Accused him of ^Gcheatin' - oh no, it couldn't ^Embe I know my ^Guncle - he's as honest as ^Ame And ^GI'm as honest as a ^BDenver man can ^Embe

One of them ^Gcowboys, he starts to ^Emdraw I shot him ^Gdown, Lord, he never ^Emsaw Shot me a-^Gnother, hot damn, he won't grow ^Emold And in the con-^Gfusion my uncle grabbed the ^Agold And ^Gwe high-tailed it ^Bdown to Mexi-^Emco

I love those ^Gcowboys, I love their ^Emgold I loved my ^Guncle, God rest his ^Emsoul He taught me ^Ggood, Lord, taught me all I ^Emknow Taught me so ^Gwell, I grabbed that ^Agold And I ^Gleft his dead-ass ^Bthere by the side of the ^Emroad
