Colorado you made me love you

Bm             E
So I'm putting you on trial

Bm                     E
For turning me against my own state

   F#
To whom I've been so faithful

    G
And loved exclusively for a while

Bm         E
Like any affair of this kind

Bm           E
It began so innocently 

Bm              E
You seduced me with your beauty

   F#
But I a sucker for sensation

  G
I found no resistance in me

She has made an adulterer of a happily married man

Colorado's here for reprimand

        A       Bm             G       A       D   F# G  A
She has made an adulterer of a happily married man


Verse:
My home state of Texas
Has never done anything 
To deserve this kind of immoral treatment of
Lying and deception
All in the name of a summer fling, oh

I, a powerless man
I couldn't stand in the shadow
Of her mountains and expect to overcome
The joy of gratitude accompanied
By an indulgent glance
How could any red-blooded man look away?


Chorus


Bridge:

A
I can tell 

       D            A
by the look in your eye

    A      
The lawyer that you hired is a 

D        A
Crook in disguise

       E           
You'll walk out of the courtroom

    D
And find the nearest man

     E
Yeah you and I both know

       D
That a jury's gonna be leniant 

     A
On a good looking woman, yeah

Instrumental:

 F#  G    F#  A

Verse:
Colorado, raise your right hand
And look us all in the face
Vow to put an end to the torment
That you've spread around like butter
Never askin what it meant 
To institute separation of man and state
And this parallelization disintegrates

Colorado,

Colorado must take the stand
