[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.
 
[Refrão]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
 
This is what I came up with I am pretty sure it is correct if any mistakes let me know. dnance77
