Intro 1
(F major) (C major) (G major)
(C major)
Verse 1
Taker Spill (C major) was quite
a (G major) cowboy down in (C major) Texas,
and a western super (G major) man to (C major) say the least.
He was the (F major) roughest, toughest critter,
never known (C major) to be a quitter,
cause he never had no
fear of (G major) man nor (C major) beast.
So yippee -aye (F major) -aye, yippee -aye (C major) -oh
For the toughest critter
west (G major) of the Isle of (C major) Moe
Once a band of rustlers
stole (G major) a herd of (C major) cattle
But they didn't know the herd
they (G major) stole was Bill's
And (C major) when he (F major) caught them ornery villains
Pecos knocked (G major) out all their fillings
(C major) That's the reason that (G major) there's
coal in them thar hills
(C major) So yippee -aye (F major) -aye, yippee -aye (C major) -oh,
for the toughest critter west (G major)
of the Alam (C major) o. (F major) (C major)
(G major) (C major)
Pecos lost his way
while (G major) traveling across the (C major) desert.
It was ninety miles across (G major) the burning sand. (C major)
He knew he'd (F major) never reach the border
if he did (G major) n't get some (C major) water,
So he got a stick and (G major) dug the Rio Grande (C major)
So yippee -aye (F major) -aye, yippee -aye (C major) -oh
For the toughest critter
west (G major) of the Alam (C major) o
One day Pecos found his
(G major) favorite doggie missing (C major)
A doggie that was (G major) nearest to his (C major) heart
So then he (F major) lassoed all the cattle
clear from (G major) Texas to Seattle
(C major) That's the way the Texas
Roundup (G major) got its start
So (C major) yippee -aye (F major) -aye,
yippee -aye (C major) -oh
We're the toughest critter
west (G major) of the Alam (C major) o (F major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major)
While a tribe of painted (G major) In dians
did a (C major) war dance
Pecha started shootin' (G major) up their little game
(C major) He gave them (F major) redskins
such a shake -up
That they jumped (G major) out of
their (C major) make -up
(G major) That's the (C major) way the Painted
Desert (G major) got its (C major) name
So yippee -aye (F major) -aye, yippee -aye (C major) -oh
For the toughest critter
west (G major) of the Alam (C major) o
While reclining on a (G major) cloud
high over Texas (C major)
With his gun he made the
(G major) stars evapor (C major) ate
Then Pecos saw (F major) the stars declining
So he left (G major) one brightly shin (C major) ing
as the emblem of the Lone (G major) Star,
Texas State. (C major)
So yippee -aye (F major) -aye, yippee -aye (C major) -oh,
for the toughest critter
west (G major) of the Alam (C major) o.
West (G major) of the Alamo.
(C major) That's Pecosville, a Texas ball.
