Chords for This Cowboy's Hat

_ _ _ _ Well, there's always been groups of people that never could see eye to eye
But I always thought if they ever had a chance to sit down and talk face to face
They might realize they got a [Bm] lot in common
Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I [F#m] was sitting in a coffee shop [A] just having a cup to pass [Bm] the time
_ Swapping [F#m] rodeo stories with this old [A] cowboy friend of [Bm] mine
When some [D] motorcycle riders started [Em] snickering in the back
_ _ [Bm] Started poking [F#m] fun at my friend's hat
[Bm] One _ _ old boy [F#m] said hey Tex
[A] Where'd you [Bm] park your horse a?
Friend [C#] just pulled his hat down [A] low, but they couldn't be [Bm] ignored
One _ [D] husky fella said I think I'll rip [Em] that hat right off your head
That's when my [Bm] friend turned [F#m] around.
This is what he [Bm] said
You _ [Bm] ride a black [D] tornado
[Em] Across the western sky
[Bm] Roping old blue [D] northern [F#] and milk it till it's dry
[Bm] Oh dog the [D] Mississippi
[Em] And it's ears down flat
[Bm] Long before [F#m] you take this [Bm] cowboy's hat
Now _ _ [F#m] partner this old hats better [A] left alone
[B] See _ [Bm] it used [C#] to be my daddy's
[A] But last [C#] year he passed on
[Bm] My [D] nephew skinned the rattler that [E] makes up this old hat [Em] band
But [Bm] back in 69 he [F#m] died in Vietnam
[Bm] [Em] Now [Bm] _
the Eagle feather was [F#] given to me by [A] an Indian friend of mine
[Bm] But _ someone ran [F#m] him down somewhere around [A] that Arizona [B] line
[Em]
[Bm] And a [D] real special lady gave me this [Em] hat pin

[Bm] You ride a [D] black tornado
[Em] Across the western sky
[Bm] Roping old blue [D] northern [F#] and milk it till it's dry
[Bm] Bulldog the [D] Mississippi
[E] And [Em] it's ears down flat
_ [Bm] Long before [F#m] you take this [B] cowboy's hat
[Bm] Now _ if your [F#m] leather jacket means to you [A] what this hat means to me
[Bm] _
Then I guess we [F#m] understand each other and [A] we'll just let it be
[Bm] _
But if you still think [D] it's funny
[Em] Man, you got my back up against the wall.
And if you touch [Bm] my hat, [F#m] you're gonna have to fight us [B] all
Well [Bm] _
_ right then it [F#m] caught a little sadness in that [A] gang leaders eyes
[Bm]
