Beaumont chords by Hayes Carll

Intro:
C    Am    F    G  C

Verse:
               C                        Am
I saw you leaning on a memory, with your back turned to the crowd
            F                             G
In that little bar on Murphy, where they play guitar too loud
            C                                  Am
There were people drinking whiskey, there were hearts about to leave
         F                              G
It was cold as hell for Houston, it was almost New Year’s Eve

Chorus:
F                                  G
All the way from Beaumont, with a white rose in my hand
      C          Am             F         G    C
I could not wait forever babe I hope you understand

Solo:
C    Am    F    G C

Verse:
      C                        Am
The night was feelin' lucky So I asked you to dance
          F                              G
And the way you looked up at me made me think I had a chance
            C                        Am
But when I put my arms around you I knew you weren't givin' in
   F                             G
I hope it will be different if I pass this way again

Chorus:
F                                  G
All the way from Beaumont, with a white rose in my hand
      C          Am             F         G    C
I could not wait forever babe I hope you understand

Solo:
C    Am    F    G    C   Am   F   G   C

Verse:
       C                            Am
Now I walked the road to get here with a guitar and a case
          F                        G
I'd of stopped in Pasadena If I'd known about this place
               C                       Am
But you looked like forever Where the water meets the shore
              F                           G
I've been thinkin about you, baby I can't do that anymore

Verse:
               C                        Am
I saw you leaning on a memory, with your back turned to the crowd
            F                             G
In that little bar on Murphy, where they play guitar too loud
            C                                  Am
There were people drinking whiskey, there were hearts about to leave
         F                               G
It was cold as hell for Houston, it was almost New Year’s Eve

Chorus:
F                                  G
All the way from Beaumont, with a white rose in my hand
      C          Am             F         G    C
I could not wait forever babe I hope you understand

F                                  G
All the way from Beaumont, with a white rose in my hand
      C          Am             F         G    C
I could not wait forever babe I hope you understand
