Johnny Horton - The Gosh Darn Wheel Chords

[Verse]
C
Well it was down at old ranch eagle where I first ran across
                                          Am
That strange two wheel contraception that upset me in the dust
C                 Am                       C
Simply got up and throwed me romped around upon my head
                                       G7
Shot straight up in lightning order so ike the ranch boss said
 
 
[Verse two]
C
T'was a tenderfoot who rode it those wheelings so they say
                           Am
For his help from new york city out to san francisco bay
C                       Am                                    C
He stopped by the ranch house to get himself a good square meal
                                  G7                     C
Never dreamt us boys would monkey with his gosh darn wheel
 
 
[Verse three]
C

                     Am
I guess you found a limit to your bronco riding skill
C                       Am                       C
He said ol' boy but you will find a different deal
                                G7                        C
When you throw your chaparritas around that gosh darn wheel
 
[Verse Four]
C
Well when he slurs upon my talent makes me madder than a mink
                       Am
So i told him i would ride him for amusement of the chink
C                           Am                            C
I said if you don't believe me just to get her by the snout
                                  G7                   C
Put a rope around her muzzle and to lead the critter out
 
[Verse five]
C
Well i done as i requested and i gave the word to go
                              Am
I pushed the gas to start her and she wasn't very slow
C                   Am                C
The grade was kinda sloping from the ranch house to the creek
                                   G7              C
And i went-a tearing through there like a crazy lightning streak
 
[Verse six]
C
All the boys they went to hollering stay with her uncle bill
                      Am
Put your spurs in her shoulder turn her muzzle up the hill
C                   Am                                   C
Well i done as they requested but my plan it wouldn't work
                                     G7                  C
When my spurs went in it's shoulders my face went in the dirt
 
[Verse seven]
C
Well the next that i remember i was lying on the ground
                                Am
Out in front of old ranch eagle with my comrades gathered 'round
C                            Am                                C
They were putting peach tree poultices on my hide where it was ripped
                                       G7                 C
Some of the boys said arizona you must have gotten whipped

C                       Am                     C
I can ride the toughest steer that ever wore a texas brand
                        G7                      C
And in any disagreement i can play a leading hand
