Ft.Worth Blues 
by Steve Earle 
 
intro: A A 
 
A              Aadd4             A 
In Ft. Worth all the neon's burnin' bright 
      E              A 
Pretty lights red and blue 
A             Aadd4                   A 
But they'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight 
            E          A 
And say a prayer or two if they only knew 
A           Aadd4          A 
You used to say the highway was your home 
     E           A 
G#ut we both know that ain't true 
A          Aadd4    A 
It's just the only place a man can go 
       E                A 
When he don't know where he's travelin' too. 
 
Chorus: 
D      E         A 
But Colorado's always clean and healin' 
  D      E         A 
And Tennessee in Spring is green and cool 
             Aadd4    A 
It never really was your kind of town 
         E              A 
But you went around with the Ft. Worth Blues 
 
 
Somewhere up beyond the great divide 
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few 
F# man can see his way clear to the light 
Just hold on tight, that's all you gotta do 
 
Chorus: 
And they say Texas weather's always changin' 
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new 
And Houston really ain't that bad a town 
So you hang around with the Ft. Worth Blues 
 
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight 
Silver light over green and blue 
And every place I travel through, I find 
Some kinda sign that you've been through 
 
Chorus: 
G#ut F#msterdam was always good for grieving 
And London never fails to leave me blue 
Paris never was my kinda town 
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
