Lone Star Hotel

    A                       D     
The Lone Star Hotel Cafe is 
        A
nothing but a dive,
    D                     A       
and Florence Smith showed up there
                    E
 Lord, every day at five
A
Florence was a waitress
       D
Have I mentioned that before?
                A               
Serving beer to strangers and to 
 E          A
some she'd seen before

[Verse]
D                            
Florence used to ride a little 
  G  Bm    D
Apaloosa mare
In the barrel race at the rodeo, she
          A
 had that beehive hair
D                             
There's a picture of her on the 
        G               D
wall, as you pay your check

G                     D           
Lord, didn't she look good back in
 A              D
 nineteen fifty six?

[Verse]
A     E      A            D    
I was loving Florence and she 
            A
was ignoring me
D              A                 
Florence had experience, it was 
                      E
the first time out for me
A                                  
Lord, I tried to tell her, but the 
D            A
only words I found
              D            A      
Were "Give me greasy enchiladas 
    E       A
and a beer to wash it down"

[Verse]
D                                 
Florence quit the Lone Star Hotel,
     G         Bm    D
 and never was seen again
And me, I quit west Texas, and I 
                      A
ain't been back since then
D        A      D             G 
That was years ago, Lord, too 
   Bm   D
many to recall?
    G          D                 
But I remember Florence and them 
A        Bm     D
pictures on the wall

[Verse]
A                            D   
So here's to you west Texas, you 
          A
old rodeo queen
D               A            
How I miss your beer joints and 
                        E
shuffle board machines
A                         D      
Here's to you west Texas, how I 
        A
miss the smell
   D           A             E   
Of greasy enchiladas, at the old 
     A
Lone Star Hotel
