Capo 3
Intro: G C (3x)
G C G
Well now Texas, I am just a little lost and beaten' down
Em C D
Hell like a morning star thats ahead of me I am fadin' out
C Am7/B Am G Em
But If I make it to the borders of that Rio Grande
C D C (1 measure) G
Guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prarie
G C G
Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
Em C D
'cause I am alive again and with every footstep sett'n me free
C Am7/B Am G Em
If I keep my smile in touch with you the good times we spent in those hills
C D C D G
They will always be a part of me as I live in my Texas Memory
CHORUS:
C Am7/B Am G
Oh Texas I am just a little lost and beatn' down
Em C D
but like that morning star thats ahead of me that's fadin' out
C Am7/B Am G Em
I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
C D C G
So I can catch me one last sunset across the Prarie
SOLO (same as chorus except last line is like last line of 2nd verse)
G C G
I see everything seems to be movin on so I am movin on
Em C D
I don't deny I get a loneliness that comes sometimes
C Am G Em
and all the miles and all the footsteps going down aint' how I keep a count,
C D C D G
for every lonely stretch where I just kept on for keepin' on.
