Tom: G

intro- 
C             G   D                G
well take me home to texas, its where im meant to be 
C             G           D
like a cowboy on the prarie wild and free 
C            G        D           C
where the grand ole oprey is a dancehall down in gruene 
             G     D              G  C G CD
well take me home to texas, its where im meant to be 

G                          C
ive been up and down this highway, a hundred times before, 
      G                        D
but i dont recall it ever being quite this long, 
G                      C
one night to go on a two week run of one night stands, 
      D
till i get to take some time off for the road, 
C                             D
i can see that lonestar guideing me back home, 
 
Chorus- 
C                          D
Nashville's nice, it aint Austin Texas, 
G             G7                Em
the tennesee river's nothin like the rio grande, 
C                D
the sunset on the smokeys is quite a sight to see, 
 G            G7            Em
but nothin like blue bonnetts in the spring, 
C                          D
to tell the truth, i like both places, 
  C       D               G C  G CD
tennesee's nice, but it aint texas. 

G                             C
I like the Memphis blues and the big ole hills of knoxville, 
  G                           D
but my hearts around New Braufuls and ole Gruene Hall, 
 G                              C
i got the pedal to that floor board, just to see how far it'll go, 
 D
i gotta keep these wheels a turnin, til they carry me back home,
