I'm Sorry Huston by Drive-by Truckers

Chords with lyrics

Like most DBT songs, this sounds like it's tuned down a full step. Here's how to play it in standard.
It seems to make more sense playing it in D, but it can be replicated in standard.

The only chord that doesn't sound quite right in standard is the Bb/A. On the recording, tuned to D,
the chord is C/B. In standard, I play the Bb/A like this:

Chord diagramE MajorE|--------|
Chord diagramBB|--3-----|
Chord diagramG+G|--3-----|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--3-----|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|--0-----|
Chord diagramE MajorE|--------|

If it doesn't quite sound right, a regular Chord diagramFF chord sounds decent as well.

I just met Huston, He was lookin' for your door.
Bb/A            Chord diagramBb majorBb
He said he'd like to buy a horse.

I saw he had a map of the county in his hand.
Bb/A           Chord diagramBb majorBb
He had your house circled red.

  Cherokee is too damn far to come back by and ol' Huston needs a ride.

Chord diagramBb majorBb
You just missed Huston, He was lookin' so confused.
Bb/A           Chord diagramBb majorBb
I guess he really needed you.

He was old and tired and lookin' for the truth.
Bb/A             Chord diagramBb majorBb
I guess ol' Huston's got the blues.
Chord diagramG minorGm   Bb/A      Chord diagramBb majorBb     Chord diagramEb MajorEb        Chord diagramEb/DEb/D    Chord diagramBb majorBb
  Cherokee is too damn far to go back dry, I promise Huston I'll try.

 You ain't givin' up on lookin' for your thing,
Chord diagramEb MajorEb  Chord diagramEb/DEb/D      Chord diagramBb majorBb
 Even if you probably should.
Chord diagramEb MajorEb     Chord diagramEb/DEb/D      Chord diagramC minorCm      Chord diagramBb majorBb
 I'm sorry Huston. I ain't got what you need
   Chord diagramEb MajorEb       Chord diagramEb/DEb/D     Chord diagramBb majorBb
But I promise you I'd help you if I could.

  Cherokee is too damn far to come back
