Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
Dm C Dm F C
[Verse 1]
Dm C
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
Dm C
I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene
F
I put him right back into her arms
G
I wasn't a match for that kinda spark
[Chorus]
F
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
C
He's two steppin' round the room
Dm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
G
There's nothin' I can do
F
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
Am
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
F
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
G C Dm C
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Well, I guess he forgot about the smoky mountain rain
Dm C
Them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used sing
F
He always loved Amarillo By Morning
G
I shoulda taken that as warning
[Chorus]
F
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
C
He's two steppin' round the room
Dm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
G
There's nothin' I can do
F
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
Am
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
F
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
G C
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
[Bridge]
F G
When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry
Am G
'Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile
F G
I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change
Dm G
'Cause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State
[Chorus]
F
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
C
He's two steppin' round the room
Dm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
G
There's nothin' I can do, no, yeah
F
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
Am
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
F
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
G Am D
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell, no
F
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
G C
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
[Outro]
Dm
C'mon baby
C
Oh yeah
Dm F C
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
