Say Ho

D*


[Verse 1]
D                 G
He was born in Virginia,
       D         G
In the Shenadoah Valley,
       D                  G  
Right about the time that this 
              Em  A
country got free,
         D                G
When his father died they left,
          D             G
Packed it up and headed west,
       D                  G       
To the hills that put the east in 
      Em  A
Tennessee,
      D
Say Ho.

[Verse 2]
D                G
A man has got to make his mark,
        D              G
And the second British war did 
start,
D                  G             
He was bored so he joined and 
   Em  A
went along,
        D            G
Took an arrow in the hip,
              D                    
A ball in the shoulder but he ever 
G
quit,
       D                     
Still full of fight when they 
 G                   Em  A
finally dragged him home,
      D
Say ho.

[Chorus 1]
        F#m                   
Reading Homer to some Cherokee 
 Bm
maidens,
        F#m                        
And you know how Tennessee is in 
  Bm
the fall,
   F#m                             
If you're not gonna make your 
  Bm
dreams epic,
    Em                          
Why bother to dream anything at 
Asus4
all?


[Verse 3]
   D               G
He met a man named Andy Jack,
        D          G
Who put him on the Nashville map,
    D              G              
But even then that town could piss
     Em  A
 you off,
            D                G
You partied hard and ran the state,
        D                G
Found a girl to take his name,
         D                       G
And they still don't know why he 
              Em  A
up and left it all,
      D
Say Ho.

[Chorus 2]
      F#m                     
Never trust nobody when you're 
 Bm
drinking,
F#m                      Bm
Lest you get insulted or rolled,
F#m                               
Drink too much you'll pickle up 
   Bm
your instinct,
    Em                             
And then you can’t trust anyone at 
Asus4
all.


[Verse 4]
     D               G
Half mystic and half showman,
     D             G
Half poet and half sage,
    D                   G         
And way too stubborn to ever admit
   Em  A
 defeat,
         D            G
Although Texas was no state,
      D             G
San Jacinto was the place,
     D           G           Em  A
That destiny was ready to be seized,
      D
Say Ho.

[Verse 5]
     D          G
Well Texas he created you,
    D                  G
And three times he did save you too,
    D                 G        
And tried to help you make it on 
       Em  A
your own,
               D        G
You joined the union anyway,
         D                     G
And when he thought you should stay,
    D                   G         
You turned your back on him and 
       Em  A
sent him home.


[Chorus 3]
         F#m                       
Is there anyone still left so full 
   Bm
of honor,
F#m                          Bm
You can trust everything you heard?
   F#m                        
In Texas anywhere that you may 
 Bm
wander,
    Em                           
Sam Houston was the man that kept 
     Asus4
his word.
