Verse 1:
         E (022100@1)                                     A (x02220@1)          E (022100@1)Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home
                                                                     B (x2444x@1)Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antone
      A (x02220@1)                           E (022100@1)I grew up on music that we called western swing
                                             B (x2444x@1)                E (022100@1)It don't matter who's in Austin,Bob Wills is still the king

      A (x02220@1)                               E (022100@1)To hear the Texas playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
                                                   B (x2444x@1)                E (022100@1)Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob Wills is still the king

                 A (x02220@1)                        E (022100@1)You can hear the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville Tennessee
                                                         B (x2444x@1)It's the home of country music,on that we all agree

Verse 4:
                     A (x02220@1)                            E (022100@1)Well if you ain't never been there then i guess you ain't been told
