Picked up on my phone in Houston

Everybody answered, 
A7                          E          A7
everybody answered but they won't say why 
A7                            D7            A7
Then this dancer grabbed me down by the bus stop
A7            E                                   D       A 
And she said I'm takin' you with me to the Texas Rose cafe 

         C               E                A               D           
I got a fast car, it's a jaguar, and I'll get you to the plane on time 
         C               A/C#     D 
Drinkin' Lone Star, play guitar, we'll have a real good time 

D                           A
I said love to be found in Austin, 
D                    A
Love to be found in Austin town, 
E                           D                               A    A7  A
I replied that I would try, but you see my time is not my own 

E                                            D   A   E
'Cause when I was just a big time (shotgun) low ball fool 
D                      D/C#
My friend Leroy came to me 
         A
He said look out your window 
D             D/C#         A
Does the first man you see look like me? 
A    D     A        D    A

Since that time I changed my mind 
D7                      A7
About the things I'm up to 
A7                            E        A7
Yet the things around me stay just the same 
A7                                   D7                   A7
'Cause outside my hotel window is a sign that turns from red to green 
         E7                    D         A7
It says chop suey and join the U.S. Marines
