Texas Love Song chords by Elton John

Verse 1:

D               D7                C
I heard from a friend you'd been messing around

       G           D              D7
With a cute little thing I'd been dating uptown

                            C
Well I don't know if I like that idea much

G                                 D              D7
Well you'd better stay clear I might start acting rough

    C                  G
You out of town guys sure think you're real keen

      A7                D
Think all of us boys are homespun and green

           C        G/B       D/A G
But that's wrong my friend so get this through your head

G                                D     D7       G
We're tough and we're Texan with necks good and red

Chorus:

G  D/A  Em           D
So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi

         C
You long hairs are sure gonna die

             A7                     D7  D
Our American home was clean till you came

Dsus C     D                     G     C G
And kids still respected the president's name

  G     Em
And the eagle still flew in the sky

D                  C
Hearts filled with national pride

Em            A7              D
Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs

   C        D       Em
Goddamit you're all going to die

   C        D       Em
Goddamit you're all going to die

Verse 2:

D            D7            C
How dare you sit there and drink all our beer

        G                      D               D7
Oh it's made for us workers who sweat spit and swear

D7                               C
The minds of our daughters are poisoned by you

          G                             D     D7
With your communistic politics and them negro blues

         C                         G
Well I'm going to quit talking and take action now

   A7                        D
Run all of you fairies clean out of this town

       C            G/B  D/A    G
Oh I'm dog tired of watching you mess up our lives

G                        D         G
Spending the summertime naturally high

Chorus:

G  D/A  Em           D
So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi

         C
You long hairs are sure gonna die

             A7                     D7  D
Our American home was clean till you came

Dsus C     D                     G     C G
And kids still respected the president's name

  G     Em
And the eagle still flew in the sky

D                  C
Hearts filled with national pride

Em            A7              D
Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs

   C        D       Em
Goddamit you're all going to die

   C        D       Em
Goddamit you're all going to die
