CHORUS
CAPO: 1st FRET KEY: Bb PLAY: A
A D
When I die I may not go to heaven
A E A
I don't know if they let cowboys in
D
If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy!
A E A
Texas is as close as I've been.
D
New York couldn't hold my at- tention
A E A
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
D
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
A E A
I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home.
CHORUS
I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone.
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS (FADE)
