[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][E][D][G][C][E]

[Verse 1]
[A]Sunset [E]streams
across [Bm]the silver screen
[G]Takes the [Bm]cowboy [A]down [Bm]Texas seems a long[E],
way from [A]this run -down [D]mining [A]town[Bm]
England's hope and glory
[E]has[A] hit tha[D]t lonesome tra[A]il
[Bm]An d drugstore dreams of[E] limousines
[Bm]Marlboro men and L[E]evi jeans
[Bm]Steel guitars and rhin[E]estone queens
They [A]never [D]let me [A]down
[Bm]And I dreamed I [E]saw America
[A]From a two -bit [D]border [A]town[E]
[A]Thought [D]I'd get [F#m]across the border
[G]See [Gsus4]what[G][D]
[F#m]I could [G]see[Gsus4][G]
[D]Put a [F#m]little or[G]der
[A]between [G]the lone sta[Bm]r state and[A] me
She was [G]standing by [A]the freeway
[D]And I was short [F#m]in com[G]pany
[A]She was [D]a girl i[F#m]n Texa[G]s
[A]with a w[G]oman in [A]Tennessee[D][G]
[D]My pic[F#m]k -up ain't no limousi[G]ne[Gsus4]
[G]But[D] there's room eno[F#m]ugh for two[G]
[D]She stepped [F#m]in, do[G]wn by my si[A]de,
[G]the state line [Bm]came in view
[A]She [G]said she didn't mind to [A]travel,
[D]said that is just [F#m]fine b[G]y me
[A]She was [D]a girl i[F#m]n Texa[G]s,
[A]but a wom[G]an in [A]Tennessee[D][G][D][F#m][G][Gsus4][G][D][F#m][G][Gsus4]
[G][D][F#m][G][A][G][Bm][A][G][A][D][F#m][G]
[A][D][F#m][G][A][G][A][D][G]
[D]We [F#m]found a little bar[G]room
[C]With [D]a polka -play
[F#m]ing ba[D]nd[G][Gsus4][G]
[D]We [F#m]took to trading s[G]miles,
[A]an [G]d we took to [Bm]holding hand[D] s[A]
And [G]we danced, we danced into [A]the morning
[D]Changed our[F#m] histo[G]ry
[A]She was [D]a girl i[F#m]n Texa[G]s,[A]
but [G]a woman [A]in Ten[D]nessee[G][D]
[Bm]And I dreamed I saw Amer[E]ica
From a two [A]-wheeled, one [D]-horsed
[Bm]run -down [E]northern mining [A]town[D]
