Note: I looked at several different tab and Chord versions of this song, and watched a couple different
YouTube lessons on it and decided this was the most correct. I found the macerockson/freeguitarmentor guy's
to sound the closest for me. I'm only notating a couple things differently here, and in the run down,
I'm adding notes that I don't necessarily hear the guitar play, but are the completion of the phrase,
which I think the vocals are doing in the recorded version of the song.
[Verse]
G D7 G
The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
C D7 G
is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women,
C D7 G
I don't need my name in the marquee lights,
C D7 G
I got my song and I got you with me to night,
C-B-A----G----(F#-E) D7 G
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love,

(This is basically the walk-down the guitar does in the last line there above. Don't think they play
the F# and E, but that's what the vocal line is doing to get back to the D7.)
[Chorus]
G
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas,
C
With Waylon and Willie and the boys,
D7
This successful life we're livin's got us
G
feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys,
G
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newberry's train songs,
C Am
And Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain,
D7 Am
Out in Luckenbach, Texas,
D7 D7 G
ain't nobody feelin' no pain.
[Verse]
G
So baby, let's sell your diamond ring,
Am D7 G
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away,
G
This coat and tie is chokin' me;
Am D7 G
in your high society, you cry all day,
G7
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Joneses
C A7
four-car garage, and we're still buildin' on,
C--B--A----G----(F#-E) D7 G
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.
(This is the same walk down on the A and E strings as tabbed above.)
[Chorus]
G
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas,
C
With Waylon and Willie and the boys,
D7
This successful life we're livin's got us
G
feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys,
G
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newberry's train songs,
C Am
And Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain,
D7 Am
Out in Luckenbach, Texas,
D7 D7 G
ain't nobody feelin' no pain.
[Chorus]
G
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas,
C
With Waylon and Willie and the boys,
D7
This successful life we're livin's got us
G
feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys,
G
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Jerry Jeff's train songs,
C Am
And Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain,
D7 Am
Out in Luckenbach, Texas,
D7 D7 G
ain't nobody feelin' no pain.
