Chords with lyrics
Ft. Worth Blues written by Steve Earle
In tribute to Townes Van Zandt
C majorC
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright
C majorC
Pretty lights red and blue
C majorC
They'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight
C majorC
Say a prayer or two if they only knew
C majorC
You used to say the highway was your home
C majorC
But we both know that ain't true
It's just the only place a man can go
When he don't know where he's traveling' to
C majorC
But Colorado's always clean and healing
C majorC
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool
C majorC
It never really was your kind of town
C majorC
So you went around with the Forth Worth Blues
Somewhere out across the great divide
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few
A augmentedA man can see his way clear to the light
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do
And they say Texas weather's always changin'
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new
And Houston really ain't too bad a town
So you hung around with the Ft. Worth Blues SOLO
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
Silver light over green and blue
And every place I travel to find
Some kind of a sign that you've been through
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
And London never fails to leave me blue
Paris really ain't my kind of town
