Chords with lyrics
You're Not From Texas
Lyle Lovett
Lyle performed this (among other gems) on "Austin City Limits" on a
songwriters special with Willie Nelson and Rodney Crowell. I don't
know if this is even the name, or if it is on one of his records.
Notes: The first five verses use the same chord patterns. The last two
verses uses the same chord patterns (as indicated in the next-
to-last verse. In the chorus, the last line is simply holding
the same chord form (D7D7), start at the 4th fret, and move up a
fret at a time four frets. In the 6th verse, a similar move is
made going from A7/6 up to B7/6.
