The Texas Song Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[Em]

[VERSE 1]
I'm gonna leave old Texas [Am]now
They got no [B7]use[Gm] for the longhorn [G]cow [B7]
They've ploughed and [Em]fenced my cattle [Am]range
The people [B7]there[Gm] are all so s[Em]trange [Am] [B7] [Em]

[VERSE 2]
I'll say goodbye to the Ala[Am]mo
And turn my [B7]head[Gm] toward Mexi[G]co [B7]
Make my [Em]home on the wide, wide [Am]range
The people [B7]there[Gm] are not so [Em]strange [Am] [B7] [Em]

[VERSE 3]
And when my ride on Earth is [Am]done
I'll take my [B7]chance[Gm] on the promised [G]land [B7]
I'll tell Saint [Em]Peter that I [Am]know
A cowman's [B7]soul[Gm] ain't white as [Em]snow [B7]
But in that [Em]far-off cattle [Am]land
He sometimes [B7]acted[Gm] like a [Em]man
