Me And My Uncle(Chords)

	        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 (A ) 
(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 (A)  
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 (A) 
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 (A)  
(Em) Left him lying (B) there by the side of the (Em) road   
   
(B Em)   
   
I hope you all enjoyed that on.
