Texas Is A Woman

G  Em  C  G


[Verse 1]
G                Em                 C                       G
He loves chasing, wide open spaces, can't put a cage on his heart
G                   Em                 C                      G
I thought I had him, but as it happens, I had no chance from the start
G                   Em      C               G
But somehow he's bound, his boots on her ground
G                     Em                   C                            G
She must be something, one lucky woman, to spend her whole life in his arms


[Chorus]
        Em                      C
There's tears on my pillow, I'm not Amarillo
   G                          Am
He just couldn't make me his home
  Em                          C                       G
I still can't believe that he loves Abilene more than me
        Am        Em                    C
Even though, I am strong and wild and beautiful
      G           G/B          C
But I know that I just can't compete
    G     G/B    C       Em           C             G    Em    C    G
Oh, Texas is a woman and he'll never leave her for me


[Verse 2]
G                     Em                           C                    G
We watched the sunset light up the wild west and I felt his heart as it rained
G                         Em                      C                             G
I felt the attraction, but he seemed distracted, Though he never mentioned her name
G                Em         C           G
I should have known to have left him alone
G            Em                  C                    G
He led me on through the neon, just like a moth to a flame


[Chorus]
        Em                      C
There's tears on my pillow, I'm not Amarillo
   G                          Am
He just couldn't make me his home
  Em                          C                       G
I still can't believe that he loves Abilene more than me
        Am        Em                     C
Even though, I am strong and wild and beautiful
      G           G/B          C
But I know that I just can't compete
    G     G/B    C       Em           C             G    C    G/D    C/E
Oh, Texas is a woman and he'll never leave her for me


[Bridge]
             G                    C
There's more blue in her sky than there is in my eyes
     G/D                   C
More gold in her hair than there is in mine
     Em                    C               G          G/B          C
I am strong and wild and beautiful, but I know that I just can't compete
    G     G/B     C*
Oh, Texas is a woman
