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