Intro 1

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

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

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

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

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