Chords with lyrics

Verse 1
     G+G         C majorC        G+G
Well now Texas, I am just a little lost and beaten' down
       E minorEm         C majorC        D MajorD
Hell like a morning star thats ahead of me I am fadin' out-i
     C majorC   Am7/B  A minorAm       G+G  E minorEm
But If I make it to the borders of that Rio Grande
       C majorC          D MajorD         C majorC (1 measure) G+G
Guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prarie


 G+G     C majorC              G+G
Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
       E minorEm         C majorC        D MajorD
'cause I am alive again and with every footstep sett'n me free
  C majorC Am7/B  A minorAm             G+G       E minorEm
If I keep my smile in touch with you the good times we spent in those hills
     C majorC      D MajorD        C majorC     D MajorD   G+G
They will always be a part of me as I live in my Texas Memory

CHORUS:

  C majorC  Am7/B    A minorAm       G+G
Oh Texas I am just a little lost and beatn' down
        E minorEm         C majorC         D MajorD
but like that morning star thats ahead of me that's fadin' out
        C majorC   Am7/B  A minorAm       G+G  E minorEm
I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
     C majorC         D MajorD         C majorC      G+G
So I can catch me one last sunset across the Prarie

Verse 2

     G+G         C majorC        G+G
Well everything is movin right, so movin's right
       E minorEm         C majorC        D MajorD
Still I can't deny that old loneliness that comes sometimes
 C majorC   Am7/B  A minorAm       G+G  E minorEm
But every mile and footstep goin' down
C majorC          D MajorD      C majorC
Ain't no way a man keeps a count
G+G     C majorC              G+G
You just never forget that lonely stretch
E minorEm         C majorC        D MajorD
Where you keep on for keepin on
