West Texas Wind chords by Dixie Chicks

Chords with lyrics

Verse: 1
C majorC           DmDm
It's a long thin line, it sure is a hot and dusty day
FF             C majorC          G+G
And Colorado is more than eight hundred miles away
C majorC             DmDm
I called to tell you that I'd be home sometime tonight
      FF              C majorC
If the roads are clear and the weather is right
    G+G C majorC             DmDm
Now to say I miss you is putting it lightly, can't you see
        F minorFm           C majorC       G+G
There's nothing better than having you lying next to me
       C majorC             DmDm
Early in the morning, honey you're the first thing on my mind
    FF         C majorC
Like a rising sun to the travelin' kind

DmDm                FF
West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back
       C majorC            G+G  C majorC
Tuggin' at my heart and pullin' on my sleeve
         DmDm              FF           C majorC
You and this old guitar, you're always up for pickin' just one more song
        FF      C majorC     G+G     C majorC
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave


Verse: 2
         C majorC                  DmDm
Now the lights of Denver, they're gonna shimmer in the deep red of the dawn
      FF       C majorC       G+G
And I'll be rollin' in, bleary-eyed and hangin' on
         C majorC           DmDm
And I'll grab my suitcase and slip it lightly through the door
  FF           G+G     C majorC
And swear again I won't leave him anymore


DmDm                FF
West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back
       C majorC            G+G  C majorC
Tuggin' at my heart and pullin' on my sleeve
         DmDm              FF           C majorC
You and this old guitar, you're always up for pickin' just one more song
        FF      C majorC     G+G     C majorC
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave


Outro
         FF       C majorC         G+G
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave
        FF      C majorC     G+G     C majorC
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave
