[Intro]
Em

[Verse 1]
Am
I'm gonna leave old Texas now
B7 Gm G B7
They got no use for the longhorn cow
Em Am
They've ploughed and fenced my cattle range
B7 Gm Em Am B7 Em
The people there are all so strange

[Verse 2]
Am
I'll say goodbye to the Alamo
B7 Gm G B7
And turn my head toward Mexico
Em Am
Make my home on the wide, wide range
B7 Gm Em Am B7 Em
The people there are not so strange

[Verse 3]
Am
And when my ride on Earth is done
B7 Gm G B7
I'll take my chance on the promised land
Em Am
I'll tell Saint Peter that I know
B7 Gm Em B7
A cowman's soul ain't white as snow
Em Am
But in that far-off cattle land
B7 Gm Em
He sometimes acted like a man
