[INTRO:]           C     F   C   F   C   F   C   F   C   F   G  C  
[VERSE 1:]
East is east and west is west
And the wrong one I have chose
FLet's go where they Ckeep on Fwearin'
Those Cfrills and Fflowers and Cbuttons and Fbows
CRings and Fthings and Gbuttons and Cbows
[VERSE 2:]
Don't bury me in this prairie
Take me where the cement grows
FLet's move down to Csome big Ftown
Where they Clove a Fgal by the Ccut of her Fclothes
And Cyou'll stand Fout in Gbuttons and CbowsC7  
[BRIDGE:]
I'll Flove you in buckskin
Or skirts that you've homeCspun
But I'll love you longer, stronger where
Your D7friends don't tote a Ggun
[VERSE 3:]
My Cbones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
FLet's vamoose where Cgals keep Fusin'
Those Csilks and Fsatins and Clinen that Fshows
And CI'm all Fyours in Gbuttons and CbowsC7  
[INSTRUMENTAL:]         F          C  G  
[VERSE 4:]
My Cbones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
FLet's vamoose where Cgals keep Fusin'
Those Csilks and Fsatins and Clinen that Fshows
And CI'm all Fyours in Gbuttons and Cbows
[VERSE 5:]
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French perfume that rocks the room
And I'm all yours in Gbuttons and Cbows
GButtons and Cbows, Gbuttons and Cbows
