Verse 1:
C majorC        G+G
He was just eighteen
     C majorC     G+G
Full of fire and gasoline
C majorC        G+G
He was lean and mean
          D MajorD
And they called him Texas


Verse 2:
C majorC        G+G
He went off to war
   C majorC       G+G
To a far and distant shore
      C majorC       G+G
He'd never left his home before
       D MajorD
He was from Texas

Pre-chorus:
      A minorAm                D MajorD
As they stormed that beach one foggy summer day
     A minorAm                   D MajorD
He said if I don't make it back promise me one thing


Chorus:
    C majorC      G+G
Take me home if I die
     D MajorD       E minorEm
When I'm gone don't ya cry
      C majorC     G+G         D MajorD
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
      C majorC       G+G
Sing those old songs of faith
     A minorAm      E minorEm
I'll fly away amazing grace
       C majorC        G+G         D MajorD
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
       C majorC         D MajorD         G+G
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas


Verse 3:
   C majorC        G+G
Well she was just eighteen
      C majorC        G+G
Prettiest thing he'd ever seen
    C majorC         G+G
Like a real life beauty queen
             D MajorD
And someday she'd be his wife

Verse 4:
   C majorC         G+G
But for the next four years
C majorC          G+G
She fought back her tears
   C majorC          G+G
While he fought back his fears
       D MajorD
Fighting for his life

   A minorAm
And in his darkest hours
   D MajorD
Her love would bring him a light
A minorAm
He would read her letters
      D MajorD
He would pray at night

Find some shade right beside a live oak tree

Sing those old songs of faith
     A minorAm      E minorEm
I'll fly away amazing grace
       C majorC        G+G         D MajorD
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
       C majorC         D MajorD         G+G
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas

     A minorAm        E minorEm
He always said the real heroes
G+G          D MajorD
Never made it back home
        A minorAm      E minorEm
And though the war was long over
       G+G         D MajorD
You know for him it still lived on
           D MajorD
And it still lives on

When he was eighty-three
       C majorC      G+G
Still full of fire and gasoline

He was still lean and mean
             D MajorD
And they still called him Texas


Verse 6:

And on the day he died
    C majorC          G+G

She held his hand as she softly sang his lullaby

And you can bury me

You can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
