D                     G *           D 
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright 
       A7             D 
Pretty lights red and blue 
D                       G *         D 
They  shut down all the honky tonks tonight 
                A7               D 
Say a prayer or two if they only knew 
D                   G *              D 
You used to say the highway was your home 
            A7              D 
But we both know that ain't true 
D                  G *             D 
It's just the only place a man can go 
              A7                       D 
When he don't know where he's travelin to 
    G          A                D 
But Colorado's always clean and healing 
G            A                   D 
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool 
D               G *              D 
It never really was your kind of town 
            A7                          D 
So you went around with the Forth Worth Blues 
D             G  *             D  
Somewhere out across the great divide 
                 A7                      D 
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few 
                  G *              D 
A man can see his way clear to the light 
             A7                         D 
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do 
G                  A7               D 
And they say Texas weather's always changin' 
G                       A7                 D 
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new 
                   G *             D 
And Houston really ain't too bad a town 
            A7                        D 
So you hung around with the Ft. Worth Blues 
 
SOLO 
 

D                        G *            D 
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight 
       A7                   D 
Silver light over green and blue 
D                 G *       D           
And every place I travel to find 
               A7                     D 
Some kind of a sign that you've been through 
     G            A7              D 
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving 
G                A7                 D 
And London never fails to leave me blue 
D            G *               D 
Paris really ain't my kind of town 
            A7                         D   
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
