D/F# - 2X0232 use thumb to get to the 6th string


D            D/F#         G                      D
Every night, Texas skies, yeah, they’ll make you sing
D                        D/F#              A 
There’s many nights I’ve looked to you and wondered what the night would bring
D             D/F#              G                         D
Could tonight be the night that man will walk through the door
D                        D/F#                       A            D
And tell me Son, pack it up, you’re done, you won’t play here anymore


Hill country nights, blue collar days, you take the good with the bad
And I wouldn’t trade one of them nights for all the fun we’ve had
Where barstools would turn into thrones, they made you feel like a king
Seiing all them people smile when you started to sing


Chorus:
D             D/F#       G                 D
I’d recognize navy skies over the trees so green
    D              D?F#               A
And how you’d feel right at home in a cool hill country breeze
D           D/F#                    G               D
A Texas sky filled with stars, yeah Lord I seen ‘em all
D                   D/F#           A          D
And Lord I hope and pray I’ll shine and never fall


My body’s beginning to show them years of wear and tear
But I never thought I’d live so long to see you standing there
Side by side, night after night, we gave her one helluva ride
I don’t need any damn award to validate my pride

Chorus
