[Intro]
Am D E
Am D E Am
[Chorus]
E Am
How long has it been since I've been through Texas?
D E Am
Where the long wind blows sweet and fair
E Am
How long has it been since I've been through Texas?
D E Am G C
And I'm on my way, but I'm not bound for there
[Verse]
Em F G C
Way out across a field of cotton
Am Dm G C
A farmhouse light shines like a star
Em Dm7 G C
The road don't turn, it just keeps going
G D C Am
The sun next town, it seems so far
[Chorus]
E Am
How long has it been since I've been through Texas?
D E Am
Where the long wind blows sweet and fair
E Am
How long has it been since I've been through Texas?
D E Am G C
Yeah, I'm on my way, but I'm not bound for there
[Verse]
Em F G C
I've travelled roads in California
Am Dm G C
Walked through the bushes, slept under the trees
Em Dm7 G C
Rode the dark miles in trucks and busses
G D C Am
I never cared why or even want meals
[Chorus]
E Am
How long has it been (how long has it been) since I've been through Texas?
D E Am
Where the long wind (where the long wind) blows sweet and fair
E Am
How long has it been since I've been through Texas?
D E Am D F Am
And I'm on my way, but I'm not bound for there......
