Tuning: E Standard (EADGBE)


       A                   D       
When I die I may not go to heaven
A               E                A   
I don't know if they let cowboys in
                                D          
If they don't just let me go to Texas
       A           E             A     
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
 
                            D       
New York couldn't hold my attention
A            E                A     
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
                                    D       
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
        A              E                   A     
I won't care 'cause at least I'll know I'm home

       A                   D       
When I die I may not go to heaven
A               E                A   
I don't know if they let cowboys in
                                D          
If they don't just let me go to Texas
       A           E             A     
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

                                         D
I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
A                          E              A 
Just to hear Merle Haggard sing a country song
                               D 
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
A                     E               A 
My body's here but my soul's in San Antone

       A                   D       
When I die I may not go to heaven
A               E                A   
I don't know if they let cowboys in
                                D          
If they don't just let me go to Texas
       A           E             A     
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
