Viva Luchenbach

D
There's a place I know where we all go,

  G                   Em
A little way down the road,

   A                               Em
It ain't far from here, we like to sit and drink beer,

     G   A             D
Play dominoes and tell jokes.

D
We've been stopping by since  49,

 G                   Em
(Eighteen hundred, I mean!)

      A                   Em
Ain't nothing fancy, just kids and ranches and

G           A          D
Clean white shirts and jeans!


[Chorus]

G               A      D               D        Bm
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,

G           A              G        A       D
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!

G             A                D            D       Bm
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,

G              A                  G         A    D
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!


[Verse 2]

D
Well, let me tell you now all about the town. . .
G              Em
How it came to be. . .
       A            Em
In the 1800's they came in buggys
   G      A               D
To meet and trade and buy feed.
D
They built the blacksmith's shop, then later on
G                     Em
They added the cotton gin. . .
        A                  Em
But the old dance hall and general store's
        G     A         D
Where it all begins and ends!


[Chorus]

G               A      D               D        Bm
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,

G           A              G        A       D
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!

G             A                D            D       Bm
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,

G              A                  G         A    D
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!

[Verse 3]

D
In the 50's people moved to cities,
G              Em
Leaving it all behind
A                 Em
Luckenbach closed down for good,
        G         A      D
It just fell on a harder time
D
One day Hondo, driving by,
G               Em
Wished he had a beer
      A                       Em
So he bought the place and he opened it up
       G       A        D
That's reason we're all here

[Chorus]

G               A      D               D        Bm
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,

G           A              G        A       D
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!

G             A                D            D       Bm
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,

G              A                  G         A    D
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!

*Spoken* Here we go!

[Chorus]

G               A      D               D        Bm
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,

G           A              G        A       D
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!

G             A                D            D       Bm
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,

G              A                  G         A    D
Sure signs you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!

G            A    D
In beatiful Luchenbach!
