[Verse 1]
CHe was just eighGteen
Full of fiCre and gasGoline
CHe was lean and Gmean
And they called him DTexas

CHe went off to wGar
To a fCar and distant Gshore
He'd never lCeft his home bGefore
He was from TDexas

As they stoAmrmed that beach one foggy summer Dday
He said if AmI don't make it back promise me one thDing
[Chorus]
Take me Chome if I diGe
When I'm gDone don't ya cEmry
Find some sChade right Gbeside a live oak tDree
Sing those Cold songs of fGaith
I'll fly Amaway amazing gEmrace
But you find Ccomfort knowing tGhat my soul found Dpeace
And you can bCury me beneath the Ddeep blue skies of GTexas

Well Cshe was just eighGteen
Prettiest tChing he'd ever sGeen

[Intro]

C G C G C G D

[Verse 1]

C G

He was just eighteen

C G

Full of fire and gasoline

C G

He was lean and mean

And they called him Texas

[Verse 2]

C G

He went off to war

C G

To a far and distant shore

C G

He'd never left his home before

He was from Texas

[Pre-chorus]

Am D

As they stormed that beach one foggy summer day

Am D

He said if I don't make it back promise me one thing

[Chorus]

C G

Take me home if I die

D Em

When I'm gone don't ya cry

C G D

Find some shade right beside a live oak tree

C G

Sing those old songs of faith

Am Em

I'll fly away amazing grace

C G D

But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace

C D G

And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas

[Verse 3]

C G

Well she was just eighteen

C G

Prettiest thing he'd ever seen

C G

Like a real life beauty queen

And someday she'd be his wife

[Verse 4]

C G

But for the next four years

C G

She fought back her tears

C G

While he fought back his fears

Fighting for his life

[Pre-chorus]

And in his darkest hours

Her love would bring him a light

He would read her letters

He would pray at night

[Chorus]

C G

Take me home if I die

D Em

When I'm gone don't ya cry

C G D

Find some shade right beside a live oak tree

C G

Sing those old songs of faith

I'll fly away amazing grace

But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace

C D G

And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas

[Bridge]

Am Em

He always said the real heroes

G D

Never made it back home

Am Em

And though the war was long over

G D

You know for him it still lived on

And it still lives on

[Verse 5]

C G

When he was eighty-three

C G

Still full of fire and gasoline

C G

He was still lean and mean

And they still called him Texas

[Verse 6]

C G

And on the day he died

C G

She was right there by his side

C G D

She held his hand as she softly sang his lullaby

[Chorus]

C G

Take me home if I die

D Em

When I'm gone don't ya cry

C G D

Find some shade right beside a live oak tree

C G

Sing those old songs of faith

Am Em

I'll fly away amazing grace

C G D

But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace

C D

And you can bury me

C D

You can bury me

C D G

You can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
