Me and my

Three days in the

It bein'

my

some of that dusty

dirt

West Texas
G
cowboys, they's all

With liquor and
G
money, they're loaded

down
So soon after

You know my

Em
My uncle starts
G
winnin' - cowboys got
Em
sore
One of them
G
called him and then two
Em
more
Accused him of

cheatin' - oh no, it couldn't
Em
be
I know my

I'm as honest as a
B7
Denver man can
Em
be

cowboys, he starts to
Em
draw
I shot him

Em
saw
Shot me a-

old
And in the con-
G

G#
the
A
gold
And
G
we high-tailed it
B7
down to Mexi-
Em
co

Verse 6

soul
He taught me
G
good, Lord, taught me all I
Em
know
Taught me so
G
well, I grabbed t
G#
hat
A
gold
And I
G
left his dead-ass
B7
there by the side of the
