Thirteen Silver Dollars Chords

[Verse 1]
G
It was a cold and cruel evening
          C              G
Sneaking up on Speedy Creek
              D                G
Found myself asleepin' in the snow
 
For one or two odd reasons
        C            G
I ain't too proud to repeat
   A                                D
For now we'll say I had no place to go
G
There was a rustle and a humming
      C                 G
Just hauling down the street
                D            G
I drew myself up from my icy bed
G                                      C        G
Painted on that shiny car the letters 'RCM and P'
G                     D          G
I can feel a little aching in my head
 
[Verse 2]
G
And then out jumps this old boy
      C                 G
About twice the size of me
                  D                 G
He asked me for my name and where I dwelt
 
I just looked him in the eye
               C            G
And sang 'Blue Yodel Number 9'
A                                        D
He didn't catch the reference, I could tell
 
G
Then the old, familiar click
         C                 G
and the handcuffs bind and grip
                           D              G
Should have left me in the snow, where I laid
 
G
He just laughed and touched his gun
           C
And turned to me and said
G                          D
Son, I bet you don't own a damn thing
G
To your name
 
[Chorus]
               C
Well, I got my health
             G
My John B Stetson
      D                              G
Got a bottle full of baby's bluebird wine
              C
And I left my stash
                  G
Somewhere down in Preston
           D                               G
Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind
 
               C
Well, I got my health
             G
My John B Stetson
      D                              G
Got a bottle full of baby's bluebird wine
              C
And I left my stash
                  G
Somewhere down in Preston
           D                               G
Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind
