G
Bluebonnets on the hillside
C
Mallow in the air
D7
Smile on the face of people you meet
C G
Cause they ain't going nowhere
Oh your smile has never been brighter
C
And your body never looked so fine
D7
And you wile away the beautiful day
G
In the beautiful Texas sunshine
If you will feed the dogs
C
And honey bring me another beer
D7
Come over here and sit by me
C G
And tell me baby how you feel
Well I know the time has come
C
That I got to be moving on

But I always say a beautiful day

In the beautiful Texas sunshine
Oh your smile has never been brighter

And your body never looked so fine

And you wile away the beautiful day

In the beautiful Texas sunshine
Well if I knew what I was doing
C
I'd left a long time ago
D7
Pack my bags my guitar case
C G
And head on down to Mexico
Well it sure does hurt me baby
C
To see you honey sit and cry
D7
But you got to understand I'm a moving man
G
I'll be back by and by
D7
And we'll just wile away the beautiful day
G
In the beautiful Texas sunshine
