Intro: |E7 A7 |D |
[Verso 1]
D
We've all read of the beautiful stories
A7
Of the countries far over the sea
From whence came our ancestors
D
To establish this land of the free
There are some folks who still like to travel
D7 G
To see what they have over there
D
But when they go look it's not like the book
E7 A7 D
And they see there is none to compare
[Refrão]
To beautiful beautiful Texas
A7
Where the beautiful bluebonnets grow
We're proud of our forefathers
D
Who fought at the Alamo
You can live on the plains or the mountains
D7 G
Or down where the sea breezes blow
D
But you're still in beautiful Texas
E7 A7 D
The most beautiful place that I know

You can travel on beautiful highways
A7
By cities by village by farms
Or fly above on the skyways

To the beauty below you will charm
White cotton green pastures blue rivers

Golden wheat fields and fruit trees that bear
D
You may search till doomsday and then you will say
E7 A7 D
That Texas has beauty to spare
[Refrão]
To beautiful beautiful Texas
A7
Where the beautiful bluebonnets grow
We're proud of our forefathers

Who fought at the Alamo
You can live on the plains or the mountains

Or down where the sea breezes blow
D
But you're still in beautiful Texas
