TEXAS MORNING
Introduction: Emaj7
Emaj7 F#m
Right in the middle of the ten cent scenery
G#m A
Shuffled and stacked on a postcard rack
Emaj7 F#m
There's a cute little girl with a Shetland pony
G#m A
She smiles at me but I can't smile back
F# B
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
F# B
Tells me it's my lucky day
A
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
E
And I've come a long, long way
A
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
E
And I've come a long, long way
She left me cold on a winter's morning
And cold it's been for a long, long time
She told me Texas was where she's going
And I came looking but she's so hard to find
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
Tells me it's my lucky day
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
A A/G#
Oh, I don't know just where I'll find her,
F#m G
Maybe the soldier with the suitcase saw her,
D F A E7
She just said she was goin' to Texas, for a little while
A A/G#
So I'm looking for a girl with light brown hair,
F#m G D
And hazel eyes, and she's not too pretty, but a beautiful smile,
F A E7
She just said, 'Well I'm goin' to Texas, for a little while.'
Break: F# / B / F# / B
Cook in the back is gettin' curious,
He asks the waitress where I'm from
She just says 'Well, I've never seen him,
He's prob'ly just a California bum.'
Cactus Jack he says, 'That's right'
As I walk out into the light
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride
Emaj7 F#m
Outside, the sun is up
G#m
And the wind blows me
A
Like a dixiecup
E
Down the highway...
