Lone Star State Of Mind chords by Nanci Griffith

• Difficulty: Beginner

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




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

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

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

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

Solo:

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

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