The Texas Song chords by Gordon Bok

Intro:
Em

Verse 1:
                          Am
I'm gonna leave old Texas now
            B7 Gm                G    B7
They got no use for the longhorn cow
                     Em               Am
They've ploughed and fenced my cattle range
           B7   Gm           Em         Am   B7   Em
The people there are all so strange

Verse 2:
                           Am
I'll say goodbye to the Alamo
            B7  Gm          G   B7
And turn my head toward Mexico
        Em                     Am
Make my home on the wide, wide range
           B7   Gm          Em         Am   B7   Em
The people there are not so strange

Verse 3:
                             Am
And when my ride on Earth is done
             B7    Gm               G     B7
I'll take my chance on the promised land
                Em           Am
I'll tell Saint Peter that I know
           B7  Gm              Em    B7
A cowman's soul ain't white as snow
            Em             Am
But in that far-off cattle land
             B7   Gm      Em
He sometimes acted like a man
