Fort Worth Blues
by Steve Earle
Use capo as you please
CIn Fort Worth all the Fneon's shinin bCright
Pretty G7lights red and Cblue
They'd shut down all the Fhonky tonks Ctonight
Say a prayer or G7two if they only Cknew
CYou used to say the Fhighway was your Chome
But we both G7know that ain't Ctrue
It's just the only Fplace a man can Cgo
When he don't G7know where he's travelin' Cto
FBut Colorado's Galways clean and Chealing
FTennessee in GSpring is green and Ccool
It never really Fwas your kind of Ctown
So you went G7around with the Fort Worth CBlues
CSomewhere out Facross the great diCvide
Where the sky is G7wide and the clouds are Cfew
A man can see his Fway clear to the Clight
Just hold on tG7ight that's all you gotta Cdo
FAnd they say Texas Gweather's always Cchangin'
FAnd one thing change'll Gbring is somethin' Cnew
And Houston really Fain't too bad a Ctown
So you hung G7around with the Fort Worth CBlues 
SOLO
CThere's a full moon over FGalway Bay Ctonight
Silver G7light over green and Cblue
And every place I Ftravel through I Cfind
Some kind of a sG7ign that you've been Cthrough
FBut Amsterdam was Galways good for gCrieving
FAnd London never Gfails to leave me Cblue
Paris really Fain't my kind of Ctown
So I walked G7around with the Fort Worth CBlues

by Steve Earle

Use capo as you please

C F C

In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright

G7 C

Pretty lights red and blue

F C

They'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight

G7 C

Say a prayer or two if they only knew

You used to say the highway was your home

G7 C

But we both know that ain't true

It's just the only place a man can go

G7 C

When he don't know where he's travelin' to

F G C

But Colorado's always clean and healing

F G C

Tennessee in Spring is green and cool

F C

It never really was your kind of town

G7 C

So you went around with the Fort Worth Blues

C F C

Somewhere out across the great divide

G7 C

Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few

F C

A man can see his way clear to the light

G7 C

Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do

F G C

And they say Texas weather's always changin'

F G C

And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new

And Houston really ain't too bad a town

G7 C

So you hung around with the Fort Worth Blues

SOLO

C F C

There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight

G7 C

Silver light over green and blue

F C

And every place I travel through I find

G7 C

Some kind of a sign that you've been through

F G C

But Amsterdam was always good for grieving

F G C

And London never fails to leave me blue

F C

Paris really ain't my kind of town

G7 C

So I walked around with the Fort Worth Blues
