Texas Morning

	  		

  
  
C                        Dm 
Right in the middle of a ten cent scenery 
Em                        F        C 
Shuffled and stacked on a postcard rack 
                               Dm 
There's a cute little kid on a Shetland pony 
Em              F 
Smiles at me, I can't smile back 
  
  
Dm                 G 
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black 
D                G 
Tells me it's my lucky day 
F 
Five o'clock in the Texas morning 
                    C 
I come a long, long way

Five o'clock in the Texas morning

                            Dm 
Well, she left me cold on a winter's morning 
Em                     F 
Cold it's been for the longest time 
    C                 Dm 
She told me Texas was where she was going 
Em                     F 
I come a-looking she's hard to find 
  
  
D                  G 
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black 
D                G 
Tells me it's my lucky day 
F 
Five o'clock in the Texas morning 
                    C 
I come a long, long way

F  
I don't know just where I'm gonna find her 
Dm                         F 
Maybe the soldier with the suitcase saw her 
Bb                                        F            C 
She just said she was going to Texas now, for a little while 
  
  
    F 
I'm looking for the girl with light brown hair 
Dm                F                     Bb 
Hazel eyes, she's not too pretty, but a beautiful smile 
                                         F        C 
She just said she's going to Texas for a little while

          C                   Dm 
Well, the cook in the back is getting mighty curious 
Em                    F 
He asked the waitress where I'm from 
C                             Dm 
She just says, "Hell, I ain't never seen him 
Em                  F      C 
Probably just a California bum" 
  
  
D               G 
Cactus Jack, he says that's right 
D               G 
As I walk out into the night 
F 
Five o'clock in the Texas morning 
                   C 
I got a long, long ride

            F 
Outside the sun is up 
C           Em               F 
And the wind blows me like a paper cup 
             C    
Down the highway
