Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[Am]Well I was sitting in a [Em]roadhouse [G]having a cup to pass the [Am]time [Am]Swapping rodeo [Em]stories with a [G]few old territory friends of [Am]mine [Am]When some motorcycle [C]riders started [Dm]snickering in the back [Am]They were poking fun[Em]at my friends [Am]hat

[Am]Well one old boy said [Em]”Hey Tex where’d you [G]park your [Am]horse” [Am]My friend just turned his [Em]hat down low but [G]they couldn’t be ig[Am]nored [Am]Then one husky [C]fella said “I think I’ll [Dm]rip that hat right off your head” [Am]That’s when my friend turned [Em]round and this is what he [Am]said

[Am]Now this old [Em]hat is [G]better left a[Am]lone [Am]You see it used to be my [Em]father’s but [G]last year he passed [Am]on [Am]My Uncle skinned the [C]red belly black that [Dm]makes up this old hat band [Am]But back in sixty [Em]nine he was killed in Viet[Am]nam

[Am]Now the eagle feather was [Em]given to me by an [G]old aboriginal friend of [Am]mine [Am]But someone run him [Em]down somewhere up around that [G]Nothern Territory [Am]line [Am]And a real special [C]lady gave me this hat [Dm]pin [Am]But I don’t know if I’m [Em]ever going to see her a[Am]gain

You’ll [Am]ride a black tor[C]nado a[Dm]cross the western sky You’ll [Am]rope an old blue [C]norther and [Em]milk it ’til it’s dry Bull[Am]dog the Diaman[C]tina [Dm]pin its ears down flat [Am]Long before you [Em]take this cowboy’s [Am]hat

[Am]Now if your leather jacket [Em]means to you what this old [G]hat means to [Am]me [Am]Then I guess we under[Em]stand each other and [G]we’ll just let it [Am]be [Am]But if you still think it’s [C]funny then you’ve [Dm]got my back up against the wall [Am]And if you touch my [Em]hat then you’re [G]gonna have to fight us [Am]all

[Am]Well right then and there I [Em]noticed a little [G]sadness in the gang leader’s [Am]eyes [Am]He turned back toward the [Em]others and they [G]all just shuffled on out[Am]side [Am]But when my friend turned [C]back towards me I [Dm]noticed his hat brim Well it was [Am]turned up in a [Em]big old Territory [Am]grin
