3/4 time -

Intro - | D MajorD | D MajorD | G+G | G+G | C majorC | C majorC | E MajorE | E MajorE | x2

A augmentedA       E MajorE      B minorBm
 The sunset streams across the silver screen
G+G        D MajorD   A augmentedA
 And takes the cowboy down
B minorBm         E MajorE
 And Texas seems a long, long way
     A augmentedA     D MajorD   A augmentedA
From this run down mining town

B minorBm         E MajorE
 England's hope and glory
A augmentedA       D MajorD     A augmentedA
 Has hit that lonesome trail

B minorBm          E MajorE
 And drugstore dreams of limousines
B minorBm         E MajorE
 Marlboro men and Levi jeans
B minorBm         E MajorE
 Steel guitars and rhinestone queens
   A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA
They never let Me down

B minorBm        E MajorE
 And I dreamed I saw America
A augmentedA        D MajorD   A augmentedA   | E MajorE ..
 From a two bit-border town

4/4 time -

      D MajorD     F# minorF#m     G+G G/C
Thought I'd  get across the border
D MajorD      F# minorF#m  G+G  G/C
 See what I could see
D MajorD    F# minorF#m  G+G  A augmentedA
 Put a little order
G+G      B minorBm          A augmentedA
 Between the Lone-Star State and Me

    G+G         A augmentedA
She was standing by the freeway
D MajorD     F# minorF#m   G+G   A augmentedA
 I was short on company
   D MajorD    F# minorF#m G+G   A augmentedA
She was a girl   in Texas
   G+G   A augmentedA    | D MajorD G+G D MajorD / |
But a woman in Tennessee

| D MajorD G+G D MajorD D ..

.. F# minorF#m         G+G   G/C
My pick-up ain't no limousine
D MajorD        F# minorF#m     G+G  G/C
 But there's room enough for two
D MajorD       F# minorF#m  G+G    A augmentedA
 As she slipped in down by My side
G+G       B minorBm        A augmentedA
 The State-line  came into view

    G+G         A augmentedA
She said She'd a mind to travel
D MajorD          F# minorF#m     G+G
 I said, that is just fine by Me
A augmentedA     D MajorD  F# minorF#m G+G    A augmentedA
 She was a girl    in Texas
    G+G  A augmentedA     | D MajorD G+G D MajorD / |
But a woman in Tennessee

| D MajorD G+G D MajorD D ..

.. F# minorF#m        G+G  G/C
We found a little bar-room
D MajorD      F# minorF#m    G+G G/C
 With a polka playing band
D MajorD  F# minorF#m       G+G   A augmentedA
 We took to trading smiles
G+G    B minorBm          A augmentedA
 And We took to holding hands

    G+G              A augmentedA
And We danced - We danced into the morning
D MajorD      F# minorF#m    G+G
 Changed our history
A augmentedA      D MajorD  F# minorF#m G+G    A augmentedA
 She was a girl   in Texas
   G+G  A augmentedA     | D MajorD G+G D MajorD / |
But a woman in Tennessee

| D MajorD G+G D MajorD / |
