Take Me To Texas

           Em                 D
Take me to Texas, two hundred years ago
        Em                               D
Where a pride rose from the ashes of San Jacinto
                  Em                  D
It still beats in every heart, like a battle cry
        Em                               C
Where I was born, where I was raised, so when I die

[CHORUS]
           G                             D
Take me to Texas, on the open range; the Rio Grande is in my veins
    Em
Its heaven there, and so my prayer
    C                              G
Is that you’ll take me anywhere in Texas
                      D                  D#dim7         Em
The only home I know. I’m a child of the Alamo, and the Yellow Rose
   C
So when I go

           Em              D
Take me to Texas, where my daddy worked
          Em                                     D
Where his blood and sweat and tears are still in that red dirt
          Em             D
Wild Palo-minos run. Cow-boys are kings
    Em                              C
And if I stray too far, I’ll let my Lone Star dreams

[CHORUS]
           G                             D
Take me to Texas, on the open range; the Rio Grande is in my veins
    Em
Its heaven there, and so my prayer
    C                              G
Is that you’ll take me anywhere in Texas
                      D                  D#dim7         Em
The only home I know. I’m a child of the Alamo, and the Yellow Rose
   C                     G       D  Em  C
So when I go, take me to Texas

[BRIDGE]
        C                         G
There’s something in the sky, and in your momma’s eyes
   Am                      G
So even if you try to move away.
       C                                        G
You’ll end up on some road somewhere, with your thumb up in the air
          Am                                       D
When they ask you where you’re headed, you’ll just say

           G
Take me to Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antone
D                             Em
Houston, Laredo, Galveston or Austin, maybe Abilene
    C                               G
The closest thing I’ve ever seen to Heaven’s the Gulf of Mexico
D                  D#dim7         Em
I’m a child of the Alamo, and the Yellow Rose
   C                     G         D
So when I go, take me to Texas, mmmhmmm

           Em    C                G     D D#dim7     Em    C
Take me to Texas.  Oh, take me to Texas.  Take me to Texas
