Take Me to Texas – George Strait
Take me to EmTexas, two hundred Dyears ago
Where a Empride rose from the ashes of San DJacinto
It still beats in Emevery heart, like a Dbattle cry
Where I Emwas born, where I was raised, so Cwhen I die
[CHORUS]
Take me to GTexas, on the open range; the DRio Grande is in my veins 
Its Emheaven there, and so my prayer
Is tChat you’ll take me anywhere in GTexas
The only home I know. DI’m a child of the D#dim7Alamo, and the EmYellow Rose
So Cwhen I go
Take me to EmTexas, where my Ddaddy worked
Where his Emblood and sweat and tears are still in Dthat red dirt
Wild Palo-Emminos run. Cow-Dboys are kings
And Emif I stray too far, I’ll let my CLone Star dreams
[CHORUS]
Take me to GTexas, on the open range; the DRio Grande is in my veins 
Its Emheaven there, and so my prayer
Is tChat you’ll take me anywhere in GTexas
The only home I know. DI’m a child of the D#dim7Alamo, and the EmYellow Rose
So Cwhen I go, take me to GTexasD  Em  C  
[BRIDGE]
There’s Csomething in the sky, and Gin your momma’s eyes
So Ameven if you try to move Gaway. 
You’ll Cend up on some road somewhere, with your Gthumb up in the air
When they Amask you where you’re headed, you’ll just Dsay
Take me to GDallas, Fort Worth and San Antone
DHouston, Laredo, Galveston or EmAustin, maybe Abilene
The Cclosest thing I’ve ever seen to GHeaven’s the Gulf of Mexico
DI’m a child of the D#dim7Alamo, and the EmYellow Rose
So Cwhen I go, take me to GTexas, mmmDhmmm
Take me to EmTexas.  COh, take me to GTexas.  D  D#dim7Take me to EmTexas C
