Capo 2
[Intro]
G D/F# Cadd9 x2
[Verse]
Cadd9 G
A cool breeze is blowin' in under the big blue sky
Cadd9 G
You can hear the wheels rollin' on that interstate nearby
Cadd9 Em7
Motel signs glowin' all so very bright
Am C D/F#
All those weary drivers need to stop for the night
Cadd9 G
And the music carries down the street from an old bar on the square
Cadd9 G
People spend all Saturday night dancing away without any care
Cadd9 Em7
Ain't nobody worried about what Monday might bring
Am C D/F#
They all know there's something special about this place
[Chorus]
G D/F#
Looking at that south Texas skyline
Cadd9
Painting a picture tonight
G D/F# Cadd9
It gives them something to dream about
G D/F#
With all the red, blue, orange and gold
Cadd9
Watching that sun sink down low
G D/F# Cadd9
Till it drops straight out of sight
Em7 D/F# G
Yeah the beauty of that south Texas skyline
[Verse]
Cadd9 G
I've been here for fifteen years and I've never left this town
Cadd9 G
There was something here in the atmosphere that kept me hangin' around
Cadd9 Em7
I guess after seein' the sun set like that
Am C D/F#
Never really want to leave and it always won't come back
[Chorus]
G D/F#
Looking at that south Texas skyline
Cadd9
Painting a picture tonight
G D/F# Cadd9
It gives them something to dream about
G D/F#
With all the red, blue, orange and gold
Cadd9
Watching that sun sink down low
G D/F# Cadd9
Till it drops straight out of sight
Em7 D/F# G
Yeah the beauty of that south Texas skyline
