Colorado Cool-Aid Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, I was sittin' in this beer joint
down in Houston, Texas
[C]Was drinkin' Colorado Cool-Aid
and talkin' to some Mexicans
[D]An' we was, what's that you say?
What's [G]Colorado Cool-Aid?
[G]Well, it's a can of Coors
brewed from a mountain stream
It'll set you [C]head on fire
an' make your kidneys scream
Oh, it sure is [D]fine
Yeah, we was havin' ourselves
one of them real [G]good times

[Verse 2]
But [G]you know every beer joint
that you've ever been in
Some big, mean [C]drunk
who just ain't got no friend
Sure enough, he wants to [D]fight
Yeah, he's gonna whip everything in [G]sight
Well, he took him a [G]big cold swallow of beer
And he walked over
and spit in my Mexican friend's [C]ear
And sure enough that made
my buddy real mad
[D]That's somethin' like he ain't never had
[G]Well, Sir

[Verse 3]
He pulled out a big, long [G]switch blade knife
Quick as a whistle he began to slice
[C]That big mean drunk stood back,
his face full of tears
[D]Lookin' down at the floor,
an' one of his ears
[G]Ha, he cut that thing off
even with the sideburns
[G]You might say the little Mexican fella,
he just didn't give a [C]darn
But he was a gentleman about it
[D]An' bent over and with a half way grin
Picked it up and handed it back to [G]him

[Verse 4]
He said, "Now big man,"
[G]"You get the urge to spit a little beer
Just open up your hand there
and [C]spit it in your own ear
Won't be no trouble that way"
[D]That's what I heard him say
And I said, [G]"Barmaid, set us up a round
of that Colorado Cool-Aid
[G]While you're up there, bring this big fella here,
a box of Bandaids"
Now [C]let me tell you,
if you're ever ridin' down in south of Texas
And decide to stop
an' [D]drink some Colorado Cool-Aid
An' maybe talk to some Mexicans
An' you get the [G]urge to get a little tough
Better make damn sure

[Verse 5]
you got your knife proof ear-
[G](muff) Hey, ain't that right, big man?
[C]I said ain't that right big man?
Ah, hell he [D]can't hear,
not on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear
[G]Hey barmaid,
bring us all a big, tall glass
of that [G]Colorado Cool-Aid
How about it?
[C]How you doin', big man?
Still got your ear there in your [D]hand
Oh, [G]yeah
[Fade out]
