[Verse 1]
G A
Oh, it's hot in Texas
C G
About as hot as it can get
G A
Mesquite trees and cactus
C G
Are trying hard not to sweat
G A
Over yonder's that old paisano
C G
He's hunting him a bit of shade
G A
But the tadpoles in the cow trough
C G
Man, they sure got it made
G A
Buried under that cool green moss
C G
Down where the sun don't shine
G A
Cool in the hottest weather
C G
Man, they're cool all the time
[Chorus 1]
G A
Oh, I'd like to join them
C G
Wonder if there is room
G A
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy
C G
Tadpoles make some room
[Verse 2]
G A
Oh, my burden's heavy
C G
I carry such a mighty load
G A
Up above soars an eagle
C G
I wonder if he knows
G A
What I'd give to trade with him
C G
Go where he goes
G A
I wonder if that old eagle knows
C G
What I'd give to know the heights he knows
[Chorus 2]
G A
Oh, I'd like to join him
C G
Wonder if there is room
G A
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy
C G
Eagle make some room
[Bridge]
G A C G (4X)
[Verse 3]
A B
Some day will come a blue norther
D A
Big wind and lots of rain
A B
I'd love to be like a grand blue norther
D A
Blow away all my pain
A B
I'd let it all out in one mighty big breath
D A
Dump my tears on the plains
A B
Yeah, I'd love to be like a grand blue norther
D A
Blow away all my pain
[Chorus 3]
A B
Oh, I'd like to join him
D A
I wonder if there is room
A B
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy
D A
Norther make some room
