Lone Star Blues Capo 2
[Intro] 
D
[Verse 1]
    D                                 G
At a truck stop in San Angelo, I saw a billboard about this rodeo
     A                                        D
This weekend out in El Paso, so I signed up to ride
                                             G
I drew a bull called Original Sin, heard he'd killed a couple of men
                A                                                 D
Figured this was somethin' I could win, 'cause the devil was on my side
     D                                       G
I was havin' myself one hell of a ride, but I ended up disqualified
    A                                              D
That old bull just up an died, before they blew the whistle
[Chorus]
         D                              G
With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
         A                                        D
Then them South Texas blues, told me son you ain't through
       D                         G
Had the East Texas blues, an' the West Texas too
         A
I've done all I know to do, tryin’ to lose, 
                                  D     A D
Tryin’ to lose these old Lone Star Blues
[Verse 2]
                D                                 G
Well, I got laid off at Brown and Root, then on my way back to Cut 'N Shoot
         A                                                       D
I lost my wristwatch an' my boots, shootin' dice with a dude from Houston
                    D                                  G
Well, there ain't no jobs here workin' cattle, I got on part-time hauling gravel
         A                                              D
With some outfit from Seattle, down here building custom homes
[Chorus]
         D                              G
With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
         A                                        D
Then them South Texas blues, told me son you ain't through
       D                         G
Had the East Texas blues, an' the West Texas too
         A
I've done all I know to do, tryin’ to lose, 
                                  D         D G A D    D G A D
Tryin’ to lose these old Lone Star Blues
[Verse 3]
                 D
Well I gassed my truck an' I packed my clothes, 
            G
Turned in my key and I hit the road
      A                                                     D
I said Cow Town's where I'll go, you never know, I might get lucky
            D                                G
Well I got a friend there turnin' knobs, at a place called Billy Bob's
       A                                                D
Said he thought he could get me a job there working as a bouncer
                  D                             G
First night on the job was just insane, some old boy got all deranged
             A                                                    D
Hit me in the head with a Harley chain, to this day, my ears still ring
[Chorus]
         D                              G
With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
         A                                        D
Then them South Texas blues, told me son you ain't through
       D                         G
Had the East Texas blues, an' the West Texas too
         A
I've done all I know to do, tryin’ to lose, 
                                  D
Tryin’ to lose these old Lone Star Blues
[Tag]
         A
I've done all I know to do, tryin' to lose, 
                                  D     A D Dsus D
Tryin' to lose these old lone star blues
