[INTRO]
 
G#m Fm G#m Cm Fm .
[VERSE ONE]
G#m Fm Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
G#m Fm I should've known better than to take him back to Abilene
Cm I put him right back into her arms
Gm I wasn't a match for that kind of spark
 
 
[CHORUS]
Cm She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
Fm He's two stepping 'round the room
G#m And judging by the smile that's written on his face
Gm There's nothing I can do
 
Cm It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
F#m A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Cm Drinking Jack all by myself
Gm Fm He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
 
[INSTRUMENTAL]
 
G#m Cm Fm
 
 
[VERSE TWO]
G#m Fm Well, I guess he forgot about the Smoky Mountain rain
G#m Fm Them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing
Cm He always loved "Amarillo by Morning"
Gm I should've taken that as a warning
 
 
[CHORUS]
Cm She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
Fm He's two stepping 'round the room
G#m And judging by the smile that's written on his face
Gm There's nothing I can do
 
Cm It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
F#m A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Cm Drinking Jack all by myself
Gm Fm He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
 
[BRIDGE]
Cm Gm When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry
Cm Gm 'Cause I 40 gets lonelier with every mile
Cm Gm I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change
G#m Gm 'Cause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State
 
[CHORUS]
Cm She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
Fm He's two stepping 'round the room
G#m And judging by the smile that's written on his face
Gm There's nothing I can do
 
Cm It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
F#m A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Cm Drinking Jack all by myself
Gm Fm He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
 
 
Drinking Jack all by myself
 
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
 
[OUTRO]
 
Come on, baby
 
Oh yeah
 
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
