Banda norte-americana formada em 1965 em San Francisco - capital do movimento hippie - que ficou famosa pelo seu estilo único porém, eclético. Suas composições envolviam elementos do rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, country, psicodélico e jazz.
A banda se apresentava em longos shows repletos de improvisação. 'A música deles alcança níveis que a maioria dos outros grupos sequer sabiam da existência.', escreveu Lenny Kaye, guitarrista de Patti Smith.

[Verse] EmGEm Me and my uncle went ridin' down GEm South Color-ado, West Texas bound GEm We stopped over in Santa Fe GA That point being just about half way GBEm And you know it was the hottest part of the day
[Verse] GEm I took the horses up to the stall GEm Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all GEm Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt GA It bein' summer, I took off my shirt GBEm And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
[Verse] GEm West Texas cowboys, they's all around GEm With liquor and money, they're loaded down GEm So soon after payday, you know it seemed a shame GA You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game GBEm High-low jack and the winner take the hand
[Solo]
[Verse] EmGEm My uncle starts winnin' - cowboys got sore GEm One of them called him and then two more GEm Accused him of cheatin' - oh no, it couldn't be GA I know my uncle - he's as honest as me GBEm And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be
[Verse] GEm One of them cowboys, he starts to draw GEm I shot him down, Lord, he never saw GEm Shot me a-nother, hot damn, he won't grow old GA And in the con-fusion my uncle grabbed the gold GBEm And we high-tailed it down to Mexi-co
[Verse] GEm I love those cowboys, I love their gold GEm I loved my uncle, God rest his soul GEm He taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know GA Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold GBEm And I left his dead-ass there by the side of the road
