Texas Is A Woman by The Henningsens
Capo 1
[Intro]
G Em C G
[Verse 1]
G Em C G
He loves chasing, wide open spaces, can't put a cage on his heart
G Em C G
I thought I had him, but as it happens, I had no chance from the start
G Em C G
But somehow he's bound, his boots on her ground
G Em C G
She must be something, one lucky woman, to spend her whole life in his arms
[Chorus]
Em C
There's tears on my pillow, I'm not Amarillo
G Am
He just couldn't make me his home
Em C G
I still can't believe that he loves Abilene more than me
Am Em C
Even though, I am strong and wild and beautiful
G G/B C
But I know that I just can't compete
G G/B C Em C G Em C G
Oh, Texas is a woman and he'll never leave her for me
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
We watched the sunset light up the wild west and I felt his heart as it rained
G Em C G
I felt the attraction, but he seemed distracted, Though he never mentioned her name
G Em C G
I should have known to have left him alone
G Em C G
He led me on through the neon, just like a moth to a flame
[Chorus]
Em C
There's tears on my pillow, I'm not Amarillo
G Am
He just couldn't make me his home
Em C G
I still can't believe that he loves Abilene more than me
Am Em C
Even though, I am strong and wild and beautiful
G G/B C
But I know that I just can't compete
G G/B C Em C G C G/D C/E
Oh, Texas is a woman and he'll never leave her for me
[Bridge]
G C
There's more blue in her sky than there is in my eyes
G/D C
More gold in her hair than there is in mine
Em C G G/B C
I am strong and wild and beautiful, but I know that I just can't compete
G G/B C*
