I’D LIKE TO BE IN TEXAS
American cowboy song
Key: E

3* -3 -4 -4 4* -4 -4 3*  2
In a lob-by of a big ho-tel
2  -2*  2    2    1*  2
In New York town one day
 2 -2*  3*  3*  3   3*   3*  -4   -4
Sat a bunch of fel-lows tell-ing yarns
3*  3*  -2*  -2* 3*-2*
To pass the time a-way
 -4   -4  -4  4*  -4  -4     3*   -2*
They told of plac-es where they’d been
 2  -2*  2    2      1*    2
And all the sights they’d seen
 2   -2* 3*  2      2    -2* 3* -3  -4
And some of them praised Chi-ca-go town
-3   3*  2  -2* -1*  2
And oth-ers New Or-leans

In a corner in an old armchair
Sat a man who’s hair was grey
He had listened to the longingly
To what they had to say
They asked him where he’d like to be
And his old voice did ring
I’d like to be in Texas
For the round-up in the spring

3* -3 -4   3* -4   4*  -4   3*
I can see the cat-tle graz-ing
 3*  -4    4*  4*  4* -5*  6
O’er the hills at ear-ly morn
4* 4* -4  -4   -3*  -4    4*  -4
I can see the camp-fires smok-ing
-4  3*   3*  -4  -4  3*  -2*
At the break-ing of the dawn
3* -3  -4   3*  -4   4*  -4    3*
I can hear the bron-cos neigh-ing
3* -4  4*   4*  4*  -5*  6
I can hear the cow-boys sing
4*  4*  -4  -4 -3*-4  4* -4
Oh I’d like to be in Tex-as
-4  -3    3*  2 -2* -1*   2
For the round-up in the spring
