Thanksgiving Day Argument chords by Waddie Mitchell
Verse 1
F
C
F
Now about this here Thanksgiving,
C
there is two opposing views.
One helped by Pop McIntyre
F
and one helped by Smokey Hughes.
How these two old cowpokes
C
can debate the pros and cons produces in
the bunkhouse many verbal marathons.
F
I've always worked,
said Smokey,
for whatever I've had since first I
C
wrangled horses as a rusty knuckle lad.
I broke my share of bronco,
F
and I've punched a heap of cow,
and I've earned my own dang blessings
C
from the sweat of my own brow,
F
and why I should be thankful for what I duly earns just a lot of bosh and bunkum,
C
boys, that I ain't never learned.
My friend says, Pop Sarcastic,
F
you said your little piece
and proved you got a limber tongue
that's well -supplied with grease.
C
Now, you're noted as
a peeler
F
who is seldom ever thrown
to what good luck or blessing is your
C
skill at riding owed.
There ain't no good luck to it,
Pop, said Smokey.
F
I'm a man who ain't obliged
to nothin'
when I do the best I can.
C
For when I earn my wages
snappin' out a bunch of colts,
it's me, myself,
F
D
in person who's takin' all them jolts.
G
D
G
That's why I say Thanksgiving Day
D
is mostly just a fake
to give some folks a good excuse
for a turkey bellyache.
G
D
Pop McIntyre sucks his pipe
a thoughtful draw or two
then says, well, Smokey,
G
I'll admit that your buckaroo
sets a steady saddle
D
and ain't stingy with his sweat.
But maybe there's a thing or two
G
you stubbornly forget.
D
Now, you mention ridin' broncos,
and I'll admit you're ridin' good
and set up in the saddle
G
like a salty peeler should.
But for this you take all the credit,
D
and you claim you owe no thanks
for them buckarooster blessings of
the muscles in your shanks.
G
At least you could be thankful,
D
said Pop with a concludin' drawl,
that the good Lord split you up the middle,
G
or you couldn't ride at all.
you
