G
Dallas packed her suitcase
     C                                 G
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her

She made leaving me look easy
C                                   G
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
   D
I took her out of Texas
      C
When she was just a girl
           D
But old Tennessee and me
                C           D
Couldn't take Texas out of her

[Chorus]
     G          C              D
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
                  C
If I could move Texas east
        D
Then she'd be here with me
         G                C               D
Then nothing else would come between the two of us
     C         D   G
If Dallas was in Tennessee

[Verse]
G
By now she's leaving Memphis
         C               G
And everything we had behind her
                                  C
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
                   G
Will serve as a reminder
       D
That true love is a treasure
         C
That's very seldom found
     D                            C                 D
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground

[Chorus]
     G          C              D
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
                  C
If I could move Texas east
        D
Then she'd be here with me
         G                C               D
Then nothing else would come between the two of us
     C         D   G
If Dallas was in Tennessee


Dallas packed her suitcase
      C                               G
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
