Gordon Bok - The Texas Song Chords

[Intro]
Em

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

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

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