Verse 1
Just when I [Dm]thought I got him to fall in love with Tenne[C]Tennessee

I put him [F]right back into her arms
I wasn't a [G]match for that kinda spark
Chorus
She's from Texas I can [F]tell by the way
He's two steppin' round the [C]room
And judgin' by the smile that's [Dm]written on his face
There's nothin' I can [G]do

A cowboy always [Am]finds a way to leave
Drinkin' Jack all by my[F]myself
[G]He's choosin' Texas I can [C]tell [Dm] [C]
Verse 2

Them old Hank [Dm]tunes the Memphis blues we used sing[C]sing
