Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Texas Underground



INTRO: C/G


One Sunday morning I was sleeping on the sofa
               G7
Had me a crazy dream

I met the Devil in broad daylight
                    C/G
Just outta Abilene

He took me down a hole where the lost souls go
                             F
Looked around and what did I see?
                     C       A7
But millionaires and prickly pears
D7              G       C   G
This is what he said to me

CHORUS:
C          G7    F    C
Welcome to Texas underground
         G7       F         C
We got a barbecue all year 'round
               C/B         Am      F
Smoking little band with a country sound
D7                       G
We like to have a little fun
    C         G7             F           C
So, pull up a chair, you can chew on the fat
            G7         F            C
Gets a'mite dry but we like it like that
               C/B         Am      F
Dance with the lady in the Stetson hat
G
Welcome to Texas, son


      C/G
Well, he took me over to Hell's rodeo
                        G7
Hopping in his hob-nail boots

A hundred and nine cowpunchers in a line
                            C/G
Widow-makers waiting in the chutes

The rodeo clown had a scorpion's tail
                      F
Appeared in a puff of smoke
                   C            A7
Armadillo ears and horns like a steer
D7            G        C      G
These are the words he spoke


CHORUS:
C          G7    F    C
Welcome to Texas underground
         G7       F        C
We got a barbecue all year 'round
               C/B         Am      F
Smoking little band with a country sound
D7                         G
Mister, they're the real McCoy
    C         G7             F           C
So, pull up a chair, you can chew on the fat
            G7         F            C
Gets a'mite dry but we like it like that
               C/B         Am      F
Dance with the lady in the Stetson hat
G
Welcome to Texas, boy

C/G
In a little while they opened up the gate
                            G7
And who do you think walked in?

It was the prettiest lady that I ever did see
                      C/G
Wearing nothing but a grin

They gave her a vest and a red satin dress
                          F
Matching boots and silver spurs
                      C                A7
She walked by and she looked me in the eye
D7             G       C    G
This is what I said to her


CHORUS:
C          G7    F    C
Welcome to Texas underground
         G7       F        C
We got a barbecue all year 'round
               C/B         Am      F
Smoking little band with a country sound
D7                     G
Ready for an all night jam
    C         G7             F           C
So, pull up a chair, you can chew on the fat
            G7         F            C
Gets a'mite dry but we like it like that
               C/B           Am      F
Dance with the feller in the Stetson hat
G
Welcome to Texas, ma'am


C/G
Down come a shipment of used-car salesmen
                    G7
Smiling like rattle snakes

Every politician in the whole damn country
                           C/G
Claiming there was some mistake

Lawyers and thieves and state police
                     F
And gentlemen of the press
                   C         A7
Cons and flunkies, slackers, junkies
D7            G   C   G
Agents of the I.R.S.


CHORUS:
C          G7    F    C
Welcome to Texas underground
         G7       F        C
We got a barbecue all year 'round
          C/B     Am       F
Plenty of country singers around
D7                        G
Bound to have ourselves a ball
    C         G7             F           C
So, pull up a chair, you can chew on the fat
            G7         F            C
Gets a'mite dry but we like it like that
               C/B        Am      F
Dance with the Devil in a Stetson hat
G
Welcome to Texas, y'all
     C              C/B        Am      F
Hey, dance with the Devil in a Stetson hat
D7         G             C
Welcome to Texas, y'all
