"My first taste of Texas"
Performed by Ed Bruce
Key of A
[Intro]
A Em D A
[Chorus]
D A
My first taste of Texas had blue eyes and golden hair
E E7 A
Beneath the Tennessee silver moon we found a feeling we could share
D A
And age made no difference I'd been around and she was young
E E7 A
And my first taste of Texas still lingers in my heart and on my tongue
[Verse]
A D A
Her gentle heart was broken in a way a tender lady shouldn't have to know
D A
And mine was somewhere in between somethin' I should hold on to or let go
D A
Her talkin' blue eyes told me the story of the love she failed to find
E E7 A
And without conversation I suppose the lines on my face told her mine
[Chorus]
D A
My first taste of Texas had blue eyes and golden hair
E E7 A
Beneath the Tennessee silver moon we found a feeling we could share
D A
And age made no difference I'd been around and she was young
E E7 A
And my first taste of Texas still lingers in my heart and on my tongue.
[Bridge]
A Bm7 D
Cause we’re not done
E A
we’ve only just begun
Bm7 D
begun to love.
E E7
now the two of us are one
D
And age made no difference
A
we’re still around and love still young
E E7 A
And my (E) first taste of Texas still lingers in my heart and on my tongue
[Repeat]
D A
My (D) first taste of Texas had blue eyes and golden hair.
E E7 A
Beneath a Tennessee silver moon we found a feeling we could share

And age made no difference we're still around and loves still young

and, my first taste of Texas.
E7 A
still lingers in my heart..and on my tounge.
E
And, my first taste of Texas.

still lingers in my heart..and on my tounge.
