Songs About Texas Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I sing songs about T[C]exas
Sing them often as [G]if she were some old lover
[D]I used to k[G]now
Wish I could follow them [C]back to the homeland every [G]time,
I hear one on my [D]ra dio.
[G]I got twin fiddles playing
[C]in my memory
My daddy [G]sang the wonders
[D]of old cow town
[G]Silver haired and he's still there
[C]Under a sky so warm and fair
I tell you [G]friends there's a song
[D]in every town.
[G]

[Verse 2]
I said won't [D]you sing me
one more song
[C]About old San Ant[G]one,[D]
Seems like a dream now it
[C]was so long [G]ago,[D]
Jerry Jeff Walker can be like
a coat [C]from [Em]the [D]cold,
Hey I'ma going [G]home

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 3]
Nothing short of [G]the gospel hymns,
[C]I guess that's why folks
keep writing 'um [G]when I die,
I want to go there too,
[D]som[C]e d[D]ay I hop[G]e to walk along heavens street,
I'll [C]still be looking for my taco meat
And I [G]swear I hear a steel
gui[D]tar rising in the air.
[G]

[Verse 4]
I said won't [D]you sing me
one more song
[C]About old San Ant[G]one,[D]
Seems like a dream now it
[C]was so long [G]ago,[D]
Ol' Guy Clark can be just like
[C]a coat from [Em]the [D]cold,

[Interlude 2]
Hey I'ma going home
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]When the night is real real [C]still,
Swear I can hear a whippoorwill
[G]She knows there's music
in the dirt down there
[D]It's a h[G]ill country rain is
[C]a cleansing thing
[G]And all I have to do is see one,
Sitting in [D]a shallow creek
I got nothing to [G]do, got nothing to do

[Verse 6]
I said won't [D]you sing me
one more song
[C]About old San Ant[G]one,[D]
Seems like a dream now it [C]was so long ago,
[G][C][D]
Jerry Jeff Walker can be just like
a coat [C]from [Em]the cold,
[D]

[Verse 7]
Yeah I said won't ya sing me one more
song [C]about those dusty plain[G]s,
[D]Them honky tonk angels,
and their [C]lonely bee hive [G]pain,[D]
Wish I stowed away on some [C]fast moving [Em]train going [D]home,
[G]I'ma going on home.

[Outro 1]
