Biografía:
James McMurtry, born March 18, 1962, Fort Worth, Texas, is an American rock and folk-rock/americana singer, songwriter, guitarist, bandleader and occasional actor (Daisy Miller, Lonesome Dove). He performs with veteran bandmates and rhythm section The Heartless Bastards.
His father, novelist Larry McMurtry, gave him his first guitar at age seven. His mother, an English professor, taught him how to play it: "My mother taught me three chords and the rest I just stole as I went along. I learned everything by ear or by watching people."

N.C. A
He was a drinking man with a guitar problem
E B
Didn't have a dollar to his name
E A
He didn't seem to mind that all that often
E B
He mostly took whatever came
A B
And if it came too late, or it came to nothing
E A
He'd swear beneath his breath
E Esus4 E Esus4
There's gotta be something to it
E Esus4 E
There's gotta be something to it
N.C. A
She lost her mind and she never missed it
E B
Folks all said she'd never learn
E A
She'd take the path of least resistance
E B
Right to the point of no return
A B
Apprehended on occasion, got off easy every time
E A
Said there's gotta be something to it, something to it
E Esus4 E Esus4
Don't know why else you'd wanna, put yourself through it
Chorus
B E B E
Well, the nights are gettin' colder, restless as the wind
B E A B A E
I'll be comin' over, fast as I can, fast as I can
N.C. A
Well, he had some lines, but he never used them
E B
She didn't need much talkin' to
E A
And he thought he'd died and gone to Houston
E B
By the time the dawn burned off the dew
A B
And it lit right up, like Roman candles, like fire and gasoline
E A
And there must have been something to it, something to it
E Esus4 E Esus4
Didn't mess around, they had to get right to it
Repeat Chorus
N.C. A
So for a while they carried on like rabbits
E B
They''d disappear for days and nights
E A
You might say they learned, each other''s habits
E B
You might say that became their life
A B
And life wasn''t long, life wasn''t easy
E A
Life wasn''t cheap, life wasn''t fair
E Esus4 E Esus4
And there might have been something to it, something to it
Repeat Chorus Twice
