Verse 1:

C F C G


G                    F         C
When I got back into Galveston again,

G                          F                C
I shot my wad at Callow's Billiards Bar and Inn

      F              C
And I get a slow gin fizz

      F                     G
I am him, boy, who's your friend?

Verse 2:

C F C G


G                       F                   C
San Francisco broke me down and wrecked my head.

G                        F                  C
Guess I wasn't much cut out just like they said.

      F                C
City life just got me sick,

      F                     G
Moneyed pricks and seated tricks.

Pre-Chorus:


F                          C
Wrote back tex to fill my gas,

F                          C
Stocked myself on fancy grass,

           F                 G
Eastbound fast and that was that.

Chorus:


              C                 F C
Two thousand miles to Galveston.

F         C                           F          C
Your old boy done packed his bag and brought it home.

F          C                          F          C
Tell that what's-his-name I'd hate to break his nose,

     F        C                         F      C
And tell your sister that she's looking mighty grown.

Verse 3:

C F C G


G                         F                C
I fell loosely 'cross a street I'd seen before,

G                    F                C
Saw the city boarded up your daddy's store

             F          C
Billy don't live here anymore.

             F          G
Jackie don't live here anymore.

Two thousand miles to Galveston.

Your old boy done packed his bag and brought it home.

F          C                          F          C
Tell that what's-his-name I'd hate to break his nose,

     F        C                         F      C
And tell your sister that she's looking mighty grown.

Your old boy done packed his bag and brought it home.
