[Intro]

[Chorus 1]
[A] If you're gonna play in [E]Texas,
You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [A]band.
That lead guitar is hot,
[E]but not for [D]"Lousiana Man".[E]
So [F#m]rosin up that [E]bow for "Faded Love"[D]
and let's all [A]dance.
If you're gonna play in [E]Texas,
You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [F#m]band.
F#m E D A
[Verse 1]
I re-[A]member down in Hou-[E]ston
we were [D]puttin' on a show[A]
When a cowboy in the back[E] stood up and [D]yelled,
"Cotton-Eyed [E]Joe"!
He said, "We love[A] what you're do-[E]in'.
Boys[D] don't get us wrong[A],
There's just somethin' [E]missin' in your [A]song.
[Chorus 1]
[A] If you're gonna play in [E]Texas,
You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [A]band.
That lead guitar is hot,
[E]but not for [D]"Lousiana Man".[E]
So [F#m]rosin up that [E]bow for "Faded Love"[D]
and let's all [A]dance.
If you're gonna play in [E]Texas,
You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [F#m]band.
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight.
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case.
You say y'all all wanna two-step. You say ya wanna doe-si-doe.
Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go.
[Chorus 2]
[A] If you're gonna play in [E]Texas,
You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [A]band.
That lead guitar is hot,
[E]but not for [D]"Lousiana Man".[E]
So [F#m]rosin up that [E]bow for "Faded Love"[D]
and let's all [A]dance.
If you're gonna play in [E]Texas,
You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [A]band.
[A] If you're gonna play in [E]Texas,
You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [A]band.
That lead guitar is hot,
[E]but not for [D]"Lousiana Man".[E]
So [F#m]rosin up that [E]bow for "Faded Love"[D]
and let's all [A]dance.
