Leavin Texas chords by Jerry Jeff Walker

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


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

CHORUS:

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

Verse 2

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