Viva Luchenbach

D
There's a place I know where we all 
go,

  G                   Em
A little way down the road,

   A                               
It ain't far from here, we like to 
Em
sit and drink beer,

     G   A             D
Play dominoes and tell jokes.

D
We've been stopping by since  49,

 G                   Em
(Eighteen hundred, I mean!)

      A                   Em
Ain't nothing fancy, just kids and 
ranches and

G           A          D
Clean white shirts and jeans!


[Chorus]

G               A      D  
Lots of smiling faces, little 
             D        Bm
children running around,

G           A              G    
Everybody's somebody in an old 
    A       D
hill country town!

G             A             
Dirt daubbers humming, see the 
   D            D       Bm
stickleburrs on your socks,

G              A                  
Sure signs you spent some time in 
G         A    D
beautiful Lukenbach!


[Verse 2]

Continues after the ad
D
Well, let me tell you now all about 
the town. . .
G              Em
How it came to be. . .
       A            Em
In the 1800's they came in buggys
   G      A               D
To meet and trade and buy feed.
D
They built the blacksmith's shop, 
then later on
G                     Em
They added the cotton gin. . .
        A                  Em
But the old dance hall and general 
store's
        G     A         D
Where it all begins and ends!


[Chorus]

G               A      D  
Lots of smiling faces, little 
             D        Bm
children running around,

G           A              G    
Everybody's somebody in an old 
    A       D
hill country town!

G             A             
Dirt daubbers humming, see the 
   D            D       Bm
stickleburrs on your socks,

G              A                  
Sure signs you spent some time in 
G         A    D
beautiful Lukenbach!

[Verse 3]

D
In the 50's people moved to cities,
G              Em
Leaving it all behind
A                 Em
Luckenbach closed down for good,
        G         A      D
It just fell on a harder time
D
One day Hondo, driving by,
G               Em
Wished he had a beer
      A                       Em
So he bought the place and he opened
 it up
       G       A        D
That's reason we're all here

[Chorus]

G               A      D  
Lots of smiling faces, little 
             D        Bm
children running around,

G           A              G    
Everybody's somebody in an old 
    A       D
hill country town!

G             A             
Dirt daubbers humming, see the 
   D            D       Bm
stickleburrs on your socks,

G              A                  
Sure signs you spent some time in 
G         A    D
beautiful Lukenbach!

*Spoken* Here we go!

[Chorus]

G               A      D  
Lots of smiling faces, little 
             D        Bm
children running around,

G           A              G    
Everybody's somebody in an old 
    A       D
hill country town!

G             A             
Dirt daubbers humming, see the 
   D            D       Bm
stickleburrs on your socks,

G              A                  
Sure signs you spent some time in 
G         A    D
beautiful Lukenbach!

G            A    D
In beatiful Luchenbach!
