Steel Guitar and Fiddle
By Eleven Hundred Springs
 
            A                                 E
I’ve been a ramblin’ man half of my life it’s true
    E                                  A
And where I’ve laid my hat has been my home
          A                                   D         D/C#   Bm
No matter where I am when I feel like this, I know what I must do
           E                                A
I gotta to go someplace where I don’t feel alone
      A                                   E
These little places that ain’t so hard to find
      E                                   A
All I gotta do is keep my ear down to the ground
   A                                 D       D/C#     Bm
In every state there lies a place to ease my state of mind
      E                             A
All I gotta to do is listen for the sound


Chorus: 
       A                    D 
Of the steel guitar and the fiddle
          E                               A
No matter where I am they make me feel at home
         A                    D
When the steel guitar and the fiddle
E                                     A
Carry me back to Texas wherever I may roam
 

There’s a little girl in the next town that I know
I’d love to stay with her but I just can’t take that chance
Cause ‘round the bend there’s a different world that waits for me I know
And I can tell what’s on her mind each time we dance
 
The wanting in her eyes ain’t hard to see
She longs for me to stop and settle down
But I just smile and say “When I'm back this way, you know just where I’ll be
Where the music plays the notes that help the whiskey go down


Where the:
Chorus

Chorus
 
Carry me back to Texas 
Wherever I may roam
