Gone To Texas chords by Red Steagall

Chords with lyrics

C majorC                FF           C majorC
My granddad was the right man to tame this savage wild land

FF           C majorC       D7D7         G7G7
Then the carpetbaggers came and stole our very heart and soul

C majorC                  FF       C majorC
The land we fought and died for the home my momma cried for

FF          C majorC   G7G7         C majorC
We couldn?t pay the taxes so they took all we owned


C majorC                FF       C majorC
That Yankee tax collector was a dodging diving actor

FF        C majorC      D7D7        G7G7
As he outrun the buckshot in a high low he was gone

C majorC                   FF       C majorC
I?m sure they?ll send another but they really need?nt bother

FF           C majorC    G7G7         C majorC
Cause when they come a-calling there?ll be nobody home

C majorC      FF       G7G7       FF      C majorC
Cause we?re off to tame a new land where I can be my own man

      FF             D7D7        G7G7
Where them carpet bagging scallywags will leave a boy alone

   FF       G7G7      FF        C majorC
We?ll start all over brand new my daddy taught me how to

     FF           G7G7          C majorC
And we?ll build a cattle kingdom and we?ll call Texas home


C majorC                 FF              C majorC
There?ll be no old folks grieving cause they don?t know we?re leaving

FF          C majorC      D7D7         G7G7
White crosses still remind us of the sacrifice they made

C majorC
When they stood their ground and fought ?em

    FF       C majorC
All the Union soldiers brought ?em

FF            C majorC   G7G7               C majorC
With death and fire and ashes that?s the price the old folks paid

C majorC             FF          C majorC
We?ve loaded up our wagon with all that we can pack in

FF          C majorC        D7D7       G7G7
A augmentedA team of fine bred horses and we?re finally on our way

  C majorC               FF              C majorC
To where leafy live oak branches shelters heart and soul and family

FF           C majorC   G7G7            C majorC
We?ll stake a claim on Texas we?ll clear the land and stay


C majorC      FF       G7G7       FF      C majorC
Cause we?re off to tame a new land where I can be my own man

      FF             D7D7        G7G7
Where them carpet bagging scallywags will leave a boy alone

   FF       G7G7      FF        C majorC
We?ll start all over brand new my daddy taught me how to

     FF           G7G7          C majorC
And we?ll build a cattle kingdom and we?ll call Texas home



     FF       G7G7      FF        C majorC
Yes we?ll start all over brand new my daddy taught me how to

     FF           G7G7          FF  C majorC
