C                            F               C
Way out west in Texas that's where I long to be
F             C              D                G
Ridin' on the prairie with a good horse under me
C                                       F                C
Three long years I've bummed around  my heart is sad and blue
      F                 C                     D           G      C
I'm-a goin' back to the wooly West where your friends are always true
      G                                      C

C                                    F             C
Well way out west in Texas where the atmosphere is light
    F               C              D             G
You roll up in your blanket on the prairie every night
          C                                           F                   C
Where the rattlesnakes and the old horned toads  they sleep right by your side
       F               C          D       G       C
On the desert sands of Texas it's where I long to ride
      G                                      C
Yo-di-la-he-O-di-la-he-O-di-la-he-O-di-la-he hee

C                           F                   C
Well way out west in Texas around that old camp fire
     F                 C            D              G
They sing the songs of long ago and strum on their guitars
   C                            F                  C
My heart is ever yearnin' and I know I'll be there soon
     F              C              D      G     C
I'll settle down in Texas when the cactus is in bloom
      G                                      C

  C                               F               C
A way out west in Texas when they round up in the spring
       F                 C                 D             G
You'll hear me sing this little song while ridin' on the Range
     C                                  F                  C
Your Broadway lights appeal to you  but moonlight suits me fine
       F               C                 D        G       C
On the desert sands of Texas  there I'll leave my blues behind
           G                                                            C

C                       F                       C             G         C       C
