Take Me To Texas Chords & Lyrics - George Strait

Take me to [Em]Texas, two hundred [D]years ago
Where a [Em]pride rose from the ashes of San [D]Jacinto
It still beats in [Em]every heart, like a [D]battle cry
Where I [Em]was born, where I was raised, so [C]when I die

[CHORUS]
Take me to [G]Texas, on the open range; the [D]Rio Grande is in my veins
Its [Em]heaven there, and so my prayer
Is t[C]hat you’ll take me anywhere in [G]Texas
The only home I know. [D]I’m a child of the [D#dim7]Alamo, and the [Em]Yellow Rose
So [C]when I go

Take me to [Em]Texas, where my [D]daddy worked
Where his [Em]blood and sweat and tears are still in [D]that red dirt
Wild Palo-[Em]minos run. Cow-[D]boys are kings
And [Em]if I stray too far, I’ll let my [C]Lone Star dreams

[CHORUS]
Take me to [G]Texas, on the open range; the [D]Rio Grande is in my veins
Its [Em]heaven there, and so my prayer
Is t[C]hat you’ll take me anywhere in [G]Texas
The only home I know. [D]I’m a child of the [D#dim7]Alamo, and the [Em]Yellow Rose
So [C]when I go, take me to [G]Texas [D] [Em] [C]

[BRIDGE]
There’s [C]something in the sky, and [G]in your momma’s eyes
So [Am]even if you try to move [G]away.
You’ll [C]end up on some road somewhere, with your [G]thumb up in the air
When they [Am]ask you where you’re headed, you’ll just [D]say

Take me to [G]Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antone
[D]Houston, Laredo, Galveston or [Em]Austin, maybe Abilene
The [C]closest thing I’ve ever seen to [G]Heaven’s the Gulf of Mexico
[D]I’m a child of the [D#dim7]Alamo, and the [Em]Yellow Rose
So [C]when I go, take me to [G]Texas, mmm[D]hmmm

Take me to [Em]Texas.[C] Oh, take me to [G]Texas.[D] [D#dim7]Take me to [Em]Texas [C]
