This Cowboy's Hat Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
Well there's always been groups of people
that never could see eye to eye
And I always thougt if they ever had a chance
to sit down and talk face to face
They might realize they got a lot in common
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Well I was sittin' in a coff[G]ee shop
Just havin' a [G]cup to pass the [Am]time
Swapin' rodeo [G]stories,
with this old cowboy [G]friend of [Am]mine
When some motorcycle [C]riders
started snickerin' in the [Dm]back
[Am]Started pokin' fun a[Em]t my friend's hat[Am]
One ol' ol' boy said [G]"Hey Tex,
[G]where'd you park your hor[Am]se?"
My friend just pulled his [G]hat down low
but they [G]couldn't be [Am]ignored
One husky fella [C]said
"I think I'll rip that [Dm]hat right off your head."
That's when my [Am]friend turned around
and [Em]this is what he [Am]said

[Chorus 1]
You'll [Am]ride a black tor[C]nado
[Dm]'cross the western sky
[Am]Rope an ol blue [C]norter
and [E]milk it till it's dry
Bull[Am]dog the Mississi[C]ppi,
[Dm]pin it's ears down flat
[Am]Long before you take[Em] this cowboys hat[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Now partner this old hat,[G]
is better left [G]alone[Am]
See it used to be my [G]daddy's
[G]But, last year he passed on[Am]
My nephew skined the rattler
[C]that makes up this [Dm]ol' hatband
But, back in [Am]sixty nine he [Em]died in [Am]vietnam
Now the eagle feather was given [G]to me
by an [G]indian friend of [Am]mine
But, someone ran him [G]down somewhere
around that Arizona [G]line[Am]
And a real special lady [C]gave me this [Dm]hatpin
[Am]And I don't know if I'll ever [Em]see her agai[Am]n

[Chorus 2]
You'll [Am]ride a black tor[C]nado
[Dm]'cross the western sky
[Am]Rope an ol blue [C]norter
and [E]milk it till it's dry
Bull[Am]dog the Mississi[C]ppi,
[Dm]pin it's ears down flat
[Am]Long before you take[Em] this cowboys hat[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]"Now if your leather jaket means[G] to you,
what this [G]hat means to [Am]me
Then I guess we [G]understand each other
and we'll just [G]let it [Am]be
But, if you still think it's [C]funny,
man you got [Dm]my back up against the wall
And if you [Am]touch my hat
you're gonna have to [Em]fight us [Am]all"
Well right then I caught a little [G]sadness
in that gang [G]leader's [Am]eyes
He turned back to the and they [G]others
and they just kinda [G]shuffled on [Am]outside
But when my friend turned [C]back towards me
[Dm]I noticed he's ol' hatbrim
Well it was [Am]turned up in a [Em]big ol' Texas g[Am]rin

[Chorus 3]
You'll [Am]ride a black tor[C]nado
[Dm]'cross the western sky
[Am]Rope an ol blue [C]norter
and [E]milk it till it's dry
Bull[Am]dog the Mississi[C]ppi,
[Dm]pin it's ears down flat
[Am]Long before you take[Em] this cowboys hat[Am]
