Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse :
               E minorEm
Your phone call took me by surprise
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
Gee, it's been a long, long time
  D MajorD               E minorEm
Since those hot and humid Texas nights
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
When we went swimm'n in the tide



              E minorEm
Now Corpus Christi seems so far away
 A augmentedA            D MajorD
And I'm not talk'n 'bout the miles
  D MajorD              E minorEm
And there ain't much I wouldn't give today
   A augmentedA           D MajorD
Just to see one of your smiles

Chorus:
           G+G
But here I sit alone in Denver
A augmentedA          D MajorD
Sipp'n the California wine
           G+G
And I've got all night to remember you
 A augmentedA              D MajorD
 I'm in a lone star state of mind

                   E minorEm
I just saw John Wayne on the Late
Late Show
 A augmentedA            D MajorD
Save the girl and ride away
D MajorD              E minorEm
And I was hoping as the credits rolled
 A augmentedA              D MajorD
 He'd make it back to her someday

Chorus:
             G+G
But here I sit alone in Denver
A augmentedA          D MajorD
Sipp'n the California wine
              G+G
And I've got all night to remember you
 A augmentedA              D MajorD
 I'm in a lone star state of mind

Solo:

Bridge:
E minorEm           A augmentedA
It's a thousand miles or more
E minorEm            A augmentedA
From here to your front door
     E minorEm      F# minorF#m   B minorBm
I'd be there tomorrow if I left today
E minorEm           A augmentedA
And I'd just pack up my guitar
E minorEm             A augmentedA
You know it's really not that far
     G+G                   A augmentedA
When you called you said I'd have a place to stay

Chorus:
            G+G
But here I sit alone in Denver
A augmentedA          D MajorD
Sipp'n the California wine
             G+G
And I've got all night to remember you
 A augmentedA              D MajorD
 I'm in a lone star state of mind
