G                                       D
Caught a big brown bus headed south out of San Antonio
     Em                        D            C
In a gray suitcase I packed up everything I own
G                                             D
Sun's comin' up while the bus tires sigh that highway moan
       Em                                   D     C
Fell asleep and I dreamed I was king of the Texas rodeo


[Prechorus]
            D          Em D C
I'm gettin' back to it now, slowly
         D
I'm gaining ground


[Chorus]
 C     G             D               C
Oh, oh mercy, mercy, send your angels
    Em                         D                 C
Oh, down 'cause I'm leavin' it all in a cloud of dust
     G    Em    D
On a big brown bus
Em    D     C
All across Texas
     G    Em    D
On a big brown bus


[Verse 2]
G                                       D
All the lights over Juarez are hangin' orange and low
      Em                            D      C
And I think about buyin' some dexedrine in Mexico
        G                                       D
But I'm broke anyway so I'm just gonna stay and stick out the ride
       Em                                  D              C
With a head full of blood, a mouth full of sand 'cause my throat is too dry


[Prechorus]
            D             Em  D  C
And I might die on this highway, part of me
         D
Wishes I would


[Chorus]
 C     G             D               C
Oh, oh mercy, mercy, send your angels
    Em                         D                 C
Oh, down 'cause I'm leavin' it all in a cloud of dust
     G    Em    D
On a big brown bus
Em    D     C
All across Texas
     G    Em    D
On a big brown bus, yeah

[Prechorus]
            D          Em D C
I'm gettin' back to it now, slowly
         D
I'm gaining ground


[Chorus]
 C     G             D               C
Oh, oh mercy, mercy, send your angels
    Em                         D                 C
Oh, down 'cause I'm leavin' it all in a cloud of dust
     G    Em    D
On a big brown bus
Em    D     C
All across Texas
     G    Em    D
