Ft Worth Blues chords

Capo 5

This sounds best picked Travis style, alternating bass string b/w 6 and 4, and don't play the first string.
You can watch Steve Earle play it on the Austin City Limits Townes Van Zandt Tribute.

In [G]Ft. Worth all the [G6sus4]neon's burnin' [G]bright
Pretty [Am6/F#]lights red and [G]blue
But they'd [G]shut down all the [G6sus4]honky tonks toni[G]ght
And say a prayer or [Am6/F#]two if they only k[G]new

You [G]used to say the [G6sus4]highway was your hom[G]e
But we both [Am6/F#]know that ain't t[G]rue
It's j[G]ust the only [G6sus4]place a man can [G]go
When he don't k[Am6/F#]now where he's travelin' [G]to

But [G6sus4]Colorado's [Am6/F#]always clean and [G]healin'
And [G6sus4]Tennessee in [Am6/F#]spring is green and [G]cool
It [G]never really [G6sus4]was your kind of [G]town
But you went a[Am6/F#]round with the Ft. Worth [G]Blues

[G]Somewhere up be[G6sus4]yond the great di[G]vide
Where the sky is [Am6/F#]wide and the clouds are [G]few
A [G]man can see his w[G6sus4]ay clear to the l[G]ight
Just hold on [Am6/F#]tight, that's all you gotta d[G]o

And [G6sus4]they say Texas [Am6/F#]weather's always c[G]hangin'
And [G6sus4]one thing change'll [Am6/F#]bring is somethin' n[G]ew
And [G]Houston really [G6sus4]ain't that bad a t[G]own
So you hang ar[Am6/F#]ound with the Ft. Worth B[G]lues

[SOLO]
[G] [G6sus4] G, [Am6/F#] [G]
[G] [G6sus4] G, [Am6/F#] [G]
[G6sus4] [Am6/F#] [G]

There's a f[G]ull moon over [G6sus4]Galway Bay tonig[G]ht
Silver [Am6/F#]light over green and blu[G]e
And [G]every place I [G6sus4]travel through, I f[G]ind
Some kinda s[Am6/F#]ign that you've been thro[G]ugh

But [G6sus4]Amsterdam was [Am6/F#]always good for [G]grieving
And [G6sus4]London never f[Am6/F#]ails to leave me b[G]lue
And [G]Paris never [G6sus4]was my kinda to[G]wn
So I walked a[Am6/F#]round with the Ft. Worth [G]Blues
