(G major) (C major) (D major)
Long (G major) before white men
worked as cowboys,
It (C major) was blacks and

(G major) They earned so little,

With whis (C major) key and a whore,
and there's (D major) it all blue. (G major) (C major) (D major)
Bill
Pick (G major) ett was the first great

He (C major) was the best.
But (D major) he was black.
He was a (G major) negro,
Cherokee,

And (D major) that's a fact.
Oh

Now,
(G major) Pickett brought bulldogging into the rodeo
No (C major) -one had tried it
Bill's way (D major) before
Cos
Bill (G major) didn't need no lassoos nor nothing
Just bare (C major) hands and teeth and

He got (C major) pulled off his horse and
dragged (D major) the steer's head around.
(G major) Bill bites the bull's lip and
sinks his teeth in.
Let's go his (C major) hands and choose

So they (C major) got rich and famous and
Bill stayed (D major) blue
Oh
