Verse 1:
   D MajorD
We've all read of the beautiful stories
               A7A7
Of the countries far over the sea

From whence came our ancestors
               D MajorD
To establish this land of the free

There are some folks who still like to travel
  D7D7           G+G
To see what they have over there
              D MajorD
But when they go look it's not like the book
     E7E7      A7A7     D MajorD
And they see there is none to compare

Chorus:

To beautiful beautiful Texas
                A7A7
Where the beautiful bluebonnets grow

We're proud of our forefathers
           D MajorD
Who fought at the Alamo

You can live on the plains or the mountains
  D7D7             G+G
Or down where the sea breezes blow
               D MajorD
But you're still in beautiful Texas
     E7E7    A7A7      D MajorD
The most beautiful place that I know

Verse 2:
    D MajorD
You can travel on beautiful highways
            A7A7
By cities by village by farms

Or fly above on the skyways
               D MajorD
To the beauty below you will charm

White cotton green pastures blue rivers
    D7D7                G+G
Golden wheat fields and fruit trees that bear
                 D MajorD
You may search till doomsday and then you will say
   E7E7    A7A7    D MajorD
That Texas has beauty to spare

Chorus:

To beautiful beautiful Texas
                A7A7
Where the beautiful bluebonnets grow

We're proud of our forefathers
           D MajorD
Who fought at the Alamo

You can live on the plains or the mountains
  D7D7             G+G
Or down where the sea breezes blow
               D MajorD
But you're still in beautiful Texas
     E7E7    A7A7      D MajorD
The most beautiful place that I know
