[Intro]
N.C.
Well, there's a special place in my memory,
N.C.
Where I keep the pictures of a time an' place I left far behind.
N.C.
An' I know the years have probably colored the way it really was back then.
N.C.
But still... I like to take the memories out an' look at 'em from time to time.
[Verse]
C G Am F C G
There's a full moon t'night, on the prarie, a memory just rode into view.
C G Am F G
Of a boy, a buckskin, an' an ole Spaniel dog, in the hills where the blue bonnets grew.
C G Am F C G
Well I was deep in the heart of Texas, just a kid 'bout 13 at the time.
C G Am
Runnin' wild through the mesquite, the cedars and cactus.
F G C
It's been years, but your still on my mind.
[Chorus]
F G C F G C
No matter where I might wander, there's a memeory that I'll never lose.
F G C Am
The Lonestar shines bright, in my heart tonight...
F G C
I've got the blue bonnet blues...
[Verse]
C G Am F C G
Well I remember those warm summer evenin's, playin' out under the stars.
C G Am F G
Back then I never dreamed we'd be leavin', but I guess things just don't stay as they are.
C G Am F C G
Well the years and the miles came between us, but t'night as I'm dreamin' of you.
C G Am
Once again, I'm a kid, in the sweet arms of Texas...
F G C
And I've got the blue bonnet blues.
[Chorus]
F G C F G C
No matter where I might wander, there's a memory that I'll never lose.
F G C Am
'Cause the Lonestar shines bright in my heart t'night.
F G C
I've got the blue bonnet blues...
F G C Am
The Lonestar shines bright in my heart t'night...
F G C
I've got the blue bonnet blues...
