Bob Wills Is Still The King Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Here's a song I wrote on a plane between [D]Dallas
and Austin
Goin' to El Paso
Whoops
Now this is what gave us the
idea to come down here,
This is a song about a guy that
probably did as much for
Our kind of music as anybody.

[Verse 2]
Well [D]the Honky Tonks in Texas
were my [G]natural second home
[D]The way you tip your hat to the ladies
in the rose of San Ant[A]one

[Verse 3]
[G]I grew up on music that we
[D]call western swing
It don't matter whose in Austin,
Bob [A]Wills is still the King
[D]

[Verse 4]
Lord, I can still remember the [G]way
things were back [D]then
In spite of all the hard
times I'd live it all again
[A]To hea[G]r the Texas Playboys
and [D]Tommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be from Texas
where Bob [A]Wills is still the King
[D]

[Verse 5]
You can [G]hear the Grand Ol'
Opry in [D]Nashville Tennessee
Its the home of country music
on that we all [A]agree
But when you [D]cross that
ol' Red River hoss,
That [G]just don't mean [D]a thing
Once you're down in Texas,
Bob [A]Wills is still the King

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 6]
If [G]you ain't never been there,
then I [D]guess you aint been told
That you just can't live in Texas
unless you got alot [A]of soul
Its the [D]home of Willie Nelson,
[G]the home of western [D]swing
He'll be the first to tell you,
Bob [A]Wills is still the [D]King.

[Outro 1]
[D][G][D]
