TEXAS MORNING
Introduction: Emaj7  
Emaj7Right in the middle of the F#mten cent scenery
G#mShuffled and stacked on a Apostcard rack
Emaj7There's a cute little girl with a F#mShetland pony
G#mShe smiles at me but AI can't smile back
F#Cactus Jack drinks coffee Bblack
F#Tells me it's my Blucky day
AFive o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long Eway
AFive o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long Eway
She left me cold on a winter's morning
And cold it's been for a long, long time
She told me Texas was where she's going
And I came looking but she's so hard to find
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
Tells me it's my lucky day
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
Oh, I Adon't know just A/G#where I'll find her,
F#mMaybe the soldier with the Gsuitcase saw her,
DShe just said she Fwas goin' to ATexas, for E7a little while
So I'm Alooking for a A/G#girl with light brown hair, 
And F#mhazel eyes, and Gshe's not too pretty, Dbut a beautiful smile,
FShe just said, 'Well AI'm goin' to Texas, E7for a little while.'
Break:      F#/      B/      F#/   B  
Cook in the back is gettin' curious,
He asks the waitress where I'm from
She just says 'Well, I've never seen him,
He's prob'ly just a California bum.'
Cactus Jack he says, 'That's right'
As I walk out into the light
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride
Emaj7Outside, the suF#mn is up
And the winG#md blows me
ALike a dixiecup
Down the highwEay...
