[N.C.]
This sounds best picked Travis style, alternating bass string b/w 6 and 4, and don't play the first string.
You can watch Steve Earle play it on the Austin City Limits Townes Van Zandt Tribute.
[Verse 1]
G G6sus4 G
In Ft. Worth all the neon's burnin' bright
Am6/F# G
Pretty lights red and blue
G G6sus4 G
But they'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight
Am6/F# G
And say a prayer or two if they only knew
[Verse 2]
G G6sus4 G
You used to say the highway was your home
Am6/F# G
But we both know that ain't true
G G6sus4 G
It's just the only place a man can go
Am6/F# G
When he don't know where he's travelin' to
[Bridge 1]
G6sus4 Am6/F# G
But Colorado's always clean and healin'
G6sus4 Am6/F# G
And Tennessee in spring is green and cool
G G6sus4 G
It never really was your kind of town
Am6/F# G
But you went around with the Ft. Worth Blues
[Verse 3]
G G6sus4 G
Somewhere up beyond the great divide
Am6/F# G
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few
G G6sus4 G
A man can see his way clear to the light
Am6/F# G
Just hold on tight, that's all you gotta do
[Bridge 3]
G6sus4 Am6/F# G
And they say Texas weather's always changin'
G6sus4 Am6/F# G
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new
G G6sus4 G
And Houston really ain't that bad a town
Am6/F# G
So you hang around with the Ft. Worth Blues
[SOLO]
G G6sus4 G, Am6/F# G
G G6sus4 G, Am6/F# G
G6sus4 Am6/F# G
[Verse 4]
G G6sus4 G
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
Am6/F# G
Silver light over green and blue
G G6sus4 G
And every place I travel through, I find
Am6/F# G
Some kinda sign that you've been through
[Bridge 3]
G6sus4 Am6/F# G
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
G6sus4 Am6/F# G
And London never fails to leave me blue
G G6sus4 G
And Paris never was my kinda town
Am6/F# G
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
