Just when I D#m7thought I got him to fall in love with TenneC#ssee,
I shoulda known D#m7better than to take him back to AbiC#lene.
C#maj7 I put him F#right back into her arms,
I wasn’t a G#match for that kinda spark.
She’s from Texas, I can F#tell by the way,
he’s two steppin’ ’round the C#room.
And judgin’ by the smile that’s D#m7written on his face –
there’s nothin’ I can G#do.
It doesn’t take a F#crystal ball to see
a cowboy always A#m/G#finds a way to leave.
Countin’ tears all by myF#self – G#
he’s choosin’ Texas, I can C#tell. D#m7 C#
Well, I guess he forD#m7got about the Smoky Mountain rain,C#
them old Hank D#m7tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing. C#
C#maj7 He always F#loved Amarillo By Morning,
I shoulda G#taken that as a warning.
She’s from Texas, I can F#tell by the way,
he’s two steppin’ ’round the C#room.
And judgin’ by the smile that’s D#m7written on his face –
there’s nothin’ I can G#do.
It doesn’t take a F#crystal ball to see
a cowboy always A#m/G#finds a way to leave.
Countin’ tears all by myF#self – G#
he’s choosin’ Texas, I can C#tell. D#m7 C#
When I’m F#eastbound and down and I can’tG# help but cry
cuz I-F#/A#40 gets lonelier with G#/Cevery mile.
I’ll F#know that his mind wasn’t G#ever gonna change
cuz his D#mheart still belongs to the G#Lone Star A#m/G#State.
She’s from Texas, I can F#tell by the way,
he’s two steppin’ ’round the C#room.
And judgin’ by the smile that’s D#m7written on his face –
there’s nothin’ I can G#do.
It doesn’t take a F#crystal ball to see
a cowboy always A#m/G#finds a way to leave.
Countin’ tears all by myF#self – G#
he’s choosin’ Texas, I can C#tell… D#m7 no. C#
D# Countin’ tears all F#by myself – G#
he’s choosin’ Texas, I can C#tell.
F#/C# C# Come on baby. D#m
Oh-C#oh yeh,
just when I D#mthought I got him to F#fall in love with TenneC#ssee…
