Me and my uncle went riding down from Colorado, West [G#] Texas bound, [C#m] and we stopped off [B] in [C#] Santa Fe.
That [E] being the point, that's about [B] half way, [C#m] cause it was [G#] the hottest part [C#m] of the day.
We let our ponies into a stall, [C#] went [C#m] to the bar boys, bought [G#] drinks for all.
Two [C#m] days in the saddle, my body hurt, [E] it be in the summer.
I took off my [B] shirt, [C#m] tried to wash off some [B] of that dust and [C#m] dirt.

Some say [C#] he's cheating, but that [C#m] can't be, cause [E] my uncle, he's as honest [B] as me, [C#m] and

[C#m] One [C#] of them cowboys, [C#m] thought far to draw, I took a bottle, cracked him on the [D#] jaw.
I went [C#m] another, down to UCO, [E] in the confusion, my uncle grabbed [B] the gold, and we [C#m] high tailed
down [G#] that road to [G#m] Mexico.
[C#m] So here's to cowboys, and here's to gold, here's to uncle, God rest [D#] his soul.
