INTRO: D  A  E  A

A
I love to hear them old twin fiddles
                                E
They can do more damage than a gun

Have you ever seen a cowboy on the dance floor
                                       A
I'm convinced that's how the west was won

A
Were you there at the Trippin' Springs reunion
                            E
For me, that's how it all began

It was me and Hank and Ernest Tubb and Willie
                                A
There to win the battle of the bands


CHORUS:
       F#m                          G
I may sing my songs the whole world over
D                 A
I may live in Tennessee
         E
You can take the music out of Texas
                                   A
But you'll never take Texas out of me


F#m  G  D  A  E  A

A
Now I can buy my boots in New York City
                                E
Get my big black hats in New Orleans

And even draw a crowd in London England
                                              A
And they all come in decked out in boots and jeans


CHORUS


F#m  G  D  A

         E
You can take the music out of Texas
                                    A     D-A
But you'll never take Texas out of me



If you want to capo II and avoid the F#m, use these chords:
A = G
E = D
D = C
F#m = Em
G = F
