Song as Recorded by Kenney Chesney ?
Transcribed off the radio the best I could.
Goin' Thru The Big D, I Dont Mean Dallas
------------------------------------------
Intro in Bb (listen to the song for the riff)
Bb Six short months we went together,
F decided it should be Bb forever.
Bb Two paychecks were Eb better than one,
A C diamond ring,... It was F done. F
Bb Bought her a house like I said I would,
F In a sub-divided Bb neighborhood.
Bb Her fuse got short, and the Eb nights got long,
it was C over, long gone, before I F knew,
F Where I was headed to.
--------------------------------------------
Chorus
Bb I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas,
F I can't believe what the Bb judge had to tell us.
Bb I got the jeep, she got the Eb palace...
Bb I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas.
(Guitar riff)
------------------------------------------------
Bb Things like this are never final,
F I'm still payin' Bb on the vinyl,
Bb Throw in the Eb "laundry room",
C It's multi-colored, and F water-proof. F
Bb It's a little bit tough to face my friends,
F The ones that said that Bb I'd just ended,
Bb The river of love, Eb a little too soon,
C That was August,...{F} this is June...
F And it's a different tune
-------------------------------------------------
Chorus
Solo | Bb | Bb | F Bb | Bb Eb | C | F | Bb |
Last Chorus
Bb I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas,
F I can't believe what the Bb judge had to tell us.
Bb I got the jeep, she got the Eb TWO BEDROOM,
Eb MORTGAGE IS DUE Eb SIDING LIKE NEW...PALACE...
Bb I'm goin thru the big D and F don't mean Bb Dallas.
(Stop) Tacet
I'm goin' thru the big D and don't mean Dallas
(End song with guitar riff)
