Forth Worth Blues chords by Steve Earle

C                     F              C
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright
       G7             C
Pretty lights red and blue
                         F           C
They'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight
                G7               C
Say a prayer or two if they only knew


C                   F                C
You used to say the highway was your home
            G7              C
But we both know that ain't true
                   F               C
It's just the only place a man can go
              G7                        C
When he don't know where he's travelin' to

F              G                C
But Colorado's always clean and healing
F            G                   C
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool
                F                C
It never really was your kind of town
            G7                         C
So you went around with the Fort Worth Blues


C             F                  C
Somewhere out across the great divide
                 G7                      C
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few
                  F                C
A man can see his way clear to the light
              G7                        C
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do


F                  G                C
And they say Texas weather's always changin'
F                       G                  C
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new
                   F               C
And Houston really ain't too bad a town
            G7                         C
So you hung around with the Fort Worth Blues

SOLO

C                        F          C
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
       G7                   C
Silver light over green and blue
                  F         C
And every place I travel to find
                G7                   C
Some kind of a sign that you've been through


F                 G                C
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
                  F                C
And London never fails to leave me blue
             F                C
Paris really ain't my kind of town
            G7                         C
So I walked around with the Fort Worth Blues
