[Am] Well I was sitting in a [Em] roadhouse [G] havin' a cup to pass the [Am] time
[Am] Swapping rodeo [Em] stories with a [G] few old territory friends of [Am] mine
[Am] When some motorcycle [C] riders started [Dm] snickering in the back
[Am] They were pokin' fun[Em] at my friends [Am] hat
[Am] Well one old boy said [Em] 'Hey Tex where'd you [G] park your [Am] horse'
[Am] My friend just turned his [Em] hat down low but [G] they couldn't be ig-[Am]nored
[Am] Then one husky [C] fella said 'I think I'll [Dm] rip that hat right off your head'
[Am] That's when my friend turned [Em] round and this is what he [Am] said

[Am] Now this old [Em] hat is [G] better left a-[Am]lone
[Am] You see it used to be my [Em] father's but [G] last year he passed [Am] on
[Am] My Uncle skinned the [C] red belly black that [Dm] makes up this ol' hat band
[Am] But back in sixty [Em] nine he was killed in Viet-[Am]nam
[Am] Now the eagle feather was [Em] given to me by an [G] old aboriginal friend of [Am] mine
[Am] But someone run him [Em] down somewhere up around that [G] Nothern Territory [Am] line
[Am] And a real special [C] lady gave me this hat [Dm] pin
[Am] But I don't know if I'm [Em] ever going to see her a-[Am]gain

You'll [Am] ride a black tor-[C]nado a-[Dm]cross the western sky
You'll [Am] rope an old blue [C] norther and [Em] milk it 'til it's dry
Bull-[Am] dog the Diaman[C]-tina [Dm] pin its ears down flat
[Am] Long before you [Em] take this cowboy's [Am] hat

[Am] Now if your leather jacket [Em] means to you what this old [G] hat means to [Am] me
[Am] Then I guess we under-[Em]stand each other and [G] we'll just let it [Am] be   
[Am] But if you still think it's [C] funny then you've [Dm] got my back up against the wall
[Am] And if you touch my [Em] hat then you're [G] gonna have to fight us [Am] all
[Am] Well right then and there I [Em] noticed a little [G] sadness in the gang leader's [Am] eyes
[Am] He turned back toward the [Em] others and they [G] all just shuffled on out-[Am]side
[Am] But when my friend turned [C] back towards me I [Dm] noticed his hat brim
Well it was [Am] turned up in a [Em] big old Territory [Am] grin

You'll [Am] ride a black tor-[C]nado a-[Dm]cross the western sky
You'll [Am] rope an old blue [C] norther and [Em] milk it 'til it's dry
Bull-[Am] dog the Diaman[C]-tina [Dm] pin its ears down flat
[Am] Long before you [Em] take this cowboy's [Am] hat
