EmD
Take me to Texas, two hundred years ago
EmD
Where a pride rose from the ashes of San Jacinto
EmD
It still beats in every heart, like a battle cry
EmC
Where I was born, where I was raised, so when I die
[CHORUS]
GD
Take me to Texas, on the open range; the Rio Grande is in my veins
Em
Its heaven there, and so my prayer
CG
Is that you’ll take me anywhere in Texas
DD#dim7Em
The only home I know. I’m a child of the Alamo, and the Yellow Rose
C
So when I go
EmD
Take me to Texas, where my daddy worked
EmD
Where his blood and sweat and tears are still in that red dirt
EmD
Wild Palo-minos run. Cow-boys are kings
EmC
And if I stray too far, I’ll let my Lone Star dreams
[CHORUS]
GD
Take me to Texas, on the open range; the Rio Grande is in my veins
Em
Its heaven there, and so my prayer
CG
Is that you’ll take me anywhere in Texas
DD#dim7Em
The only home I know. I’m a child of the Alamo, and the Yellow Rose
CGDEmC
So when I go, take me to Texas
[BRIDGE]
CG
There’s something in the sky, and in your momma’s eyes
AmG
So even if you try to move away.
CG
You’ll end up on some road somewhere, with your thumb up in the air
AmD
When they ask you where you’re headed, you’ll just say
G
Take me to Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antone
DEm
Houston, Laredo, Galveston or Austin, maybe Abilene
CG
The closest thing I’ve ever seen to Heaven’s the Gulf of Mexico
DD#dim7Em
I’m a child of the Alamo, and the Yellow Rose
CGD
So when I go, take me to Texas, mmmhmmm
EmCGDD#dim7EmC
Take me to Texas. Oh, take me to Texas. Take me to Texas
