[VERSE ONE] Bm F#m A Bm Well, I was sittin' in a coffee shop, just havin' a cup to pass the time Bm F#m A Bm Swappin' rodeo stories with this old cowboy friend of mine Bm D Em When some motorcycle riders started snickerin' in the back Bm F#m Bm Started pokin' fun at my friend's hat Bm F#m A Bm One old boy said, "Hey Tex, where'd you park your horse?" Bm F#m A Bm My friend just pulled his hat down low, but they couldn't be ignored Bm D Em One husky fella said, "I think I'll just rip that hat right off your head." Bm F#m Bm That's when my friend turned around, and this is what he said: www.chordzone.org [CHORUS] Bm D Em "You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky Bm D F# You'll rope an old Blue Norther' and milk it till it's dry Bm D Em Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Bm F#m Bm Long before you take this cowboy's hat." [VERSE TWO] Bm F#m A Bm He said, "Partner, now this ole hat's better left alone Bm F#m A Bm See, it used to be my daddy's, but last year he passed on Bm D Em My nephew skinned the rattler that makes up this here old hatband Bm F#m Bm But back in '69, he died in Vietnam Bm F#m A Bm Now the eagle feather was given to me by an Indian friend of mine Bm F#m A Bm But somebody ran him down somewhere around that Arizona line Bm D Em And a real special lady gave me this here hat pin Bm F#m Bm But I don't know if I'll ever see her again." www.chordzone.org [CHORUS] Bm D Em "You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky Bm D F# You'll rope an old Blue Norther' and milk it till it's dry Bm D Em Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Bm F#m Bm Long before you take this cowboy's hat." [VERSE THREE] Bm F#m A Bm "Now if your leather jacket means to you what this hat means to me Bm F#m A Bm Then I guess we understand each other, and we'll just let it be Bm D But if you still think it's funny, man, Em you got my back up against the wall Bm F#m Bm And if you touch my hat, you're gonna have to fight us all." Bm F#m A Bm Right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leader's eyes Bm F#m And he turned back towards the others A Bm and they all just kinda shuffled on outside Bm D Em But when my friend turned back towards me, I noticed his old hat brim Bm F#m Bm Well, it look like it was turned up in a big old Texas grin [CHORUS] Bm D Em "You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky Bm D F# You'll rope an old Blue Norther' and milk it till it's dry Bm D Em Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat Bm F#m Bm Long before you take this cowboy's hat."
