TEXAS MORNING

Introduction: Emaj7

Emaj7                      F#m
Right in the middle of the ten cent scenery

G#m                       A
Shuffled and stacked on a postcard rack

Emaj7                             F#m
There's a cute little girl with a Shetland pony

G#m                  A
She smiles at me but I can't smile back

F#                        B
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black

F#               B
Tells me it's my lucky day

A
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

                           E
And I've come a long, long way

A
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

                           E
And I've come a long, long way



She left me cold on a winter's morning
And cold it's been for a long, long time
She told me Texas was where she's going
And I came looking but she's so hard to find
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
Tells me it's my lucky day
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way







     A                A/G#
Oh, I don't know just where I'll find her,

F#m                        G
Maybe the soldier with the suitcase saw her,

D                 F            A          E7
She just said she was goin' to Texas, for a little while

       A             A/G#
So I'm looking for a girl with light brown hair, 

    F#m             G                     D
And hazel eyes, and she's not too pretty, but a beautiful smile,

F                    A                   E7
She just said, 'Well I'm goin' to Texas, for a little while.'



Break:   F#   /   B   /   F#   /   B


Cook in the back is gettin' curious,
He asks the waitress where I'm from
She just says 'Well, I've never seen him,
He's prob'ly just a California bum.'
Cactus Jack he says, 'That's right'
As I walk out into the light
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride


Emaj7          F#m
Outside, the sun is up

           G#m
And the wind blows me

A
Like a dixiecup

              E
Down the highway...
