G                       D7        C                          G
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
                    D7              C        D7
That lead guitar is hot but not for Lousiana Man
   Em            D7            C                  G
So rosin up that bow for Faded Love and let's all dance
                        D7        C                          Em
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
G                  D7              C            G
I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show
                     D7                C                  D7
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled Cotton-Eyed Joe
           G                D7    C                 G
He said we love what you're doing boys don't get us wrong
                       D7              G
There's just something missing in your song
G                       D7        C                          G
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
                    D7              C        D7
That lead guitar is hot but not for Lousiana Man
   Em            D7            C                  G
So rosin up that bow for Faded Love and let's all dance
                        D7        C                          Em
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
G                    D7                C              G
So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight
                       D7             C             D7
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case
        G               D7           C                   G
You say y'all all wanna two-step you say ya wanna doe-si-doe
                       D7             G
Well here's a fiddling song before we go
G                       D7        C                          G
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
                    D7              C        D7
That lead guitar is hot but not for Lousiana Man
   Em            D7            C                  G
So rosin up that bow for Faded Love and let's all dance
                        D7        C                          Em
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
G                       D7        C                          G
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
