D5                     G5 *           D5 
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright 
       A5             D5 
Pretty lights red and blue 
D5                       G5 *         D5 
They  shut down all the honky tonks tonight 
                A5               D5 
Say a prayer or two if they only knew 
D5                   G5 *              D5 
You used to say the highway was your home 
            A5              D5 
But we both know that ain't true 
D5                  G5 *             D5 
It's just the only place a man can go 
              A5                       D5 
When he don't know where he's travelin to 
    G5          A5                D5 
But Colorado's always clean and healing 
G5            A5                   D5 
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool 
D5               G5 *              D5 
It never really was your kind of town 
            A5                          D5 
So you went around with the Forth Worth Blues 
D5             G5  *             D5  
Somewhere out across the great divide 
                 A5                      D5 
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few 
                  G5 *              D5 
A man can see his way clear to the light 
             A5                         D5 
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do 
G5                  A5               D5 
And they say Texas weather's always changin' 
G5                       A5                 D5 
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new 
                   G5 *             D5 
And Houston really ain't too bad a town 
            A5                        D5 
So you hung around with the Ft. Worth Blues 
 
SOLO 
 

D5                        G5 *            D5 
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight 
       A5                   D5 
Silver light over green and blue 
D5                 G5 *       D5           
And every place I travel to find 
               A5                     D5 
Some kind of a sign that you've been through 
     G5            A5              D5 
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving 
G5                A5                 D5 
And London never fails to leave me blue 
D5            G5 *               D5 
Paris really ain't my kind of town 
            A5                         D5   
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
