Tune a full step down to match record [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
