(Capo 2)
(Verse 1)
Take me to (Em)Texas two hundred (D)years ago
Where a (Em)pride rose from the ashes of San Ja-(D)cinto
It still beats in (Em)every heart like a (D)battle cry
Where (Em)I was born, where I was raised, so (C)when I die
(Chorus)
Take me to (G)Texas on the open range, the (D)Rio Grande is in my veins
It's (Em)heaven there and so my prayer is (C)that you'll take me anywhere in (G)Texas
The only home I know, (D) I'm a child of the (B7/D#)Alamo
And the (Em)Yellow Rose, so (C)when I go
(Verse 2)
Take me to (Em)Texas where my (D)daddy worked
Where his (Em)blood and sweat and tears are still in (D)that red dirt
Wild palo-(Em)minos run, cow-(D)boys are kings
And (Em)if I stray too far, I'll let my (C)Lone Star dreams
(Chorus)
Take me to (G)Texas on the open range, the (D)Rio Grande is in my veins
It's (Em)heaven there and so my prayer is (C)that you'll take me anywhere in (G)Texas
The only home I know, (D) I'm a child of the (B7/D#)Alamo
And the (Em)Yellow Rose, so (C)when I go
Solo: Take me to |(G)Texas |(D) |(Em) |(C)
(Bridge)
There's (C)something in the sky, and (Cmaj7/B)in your momma's eyes
So (Am)even if you try to move away (G)
You'll end up (C)on some road somewhere with your (Cmaj7/B)thumb up in the air
When they (Am)ask you where youfre headed, you'll (D)say
(Chorus)
Take me to (G)Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antone, (D)Houston, Laredo, Galveston
Or (Am)Austin, maybe Abilene, the (C)closest thing I've ever seen
To (G)Heaven's the Gulf of Mexico, (D) I'm a child of the (B7/D#)Alamo
And the (Em)Yellow Rose, so (C)when I go
(Tag)
Take me to (G)Texas, hmm (D)hmm
Take me to (Em)Texas (C)
Oh, take me to (G)Texas, (D) (B7/D#) take me to (Em)Texas (G)(G/F#)(G/E)(G/D)(C) -----
