[Verse 1]
E A
People are flooding in, it's getting a little out of hand
F#m B
My home don't look much like my home
E
The old man never saw the day
A F#m
These streets were filled with those LBJ, Stetsons
B
Without a drop of sweat in sight
E
He worked a dragline all over the state
A
I learned to swim in those rivers he made
F#M
I shot my first gun on the Rio Grande
B A
And smoked my first joint from Willie's strand
[Chorus]
E C#m
So, here we are, where the clouds are as big as God
A E
And everyone wants to be a cowboy
F#M B E
And the cowboy, just wants to be alone
So get you a truck and some new shiny boots
A
The end of the day, we all know the truth
F#m B E
Paris, Texas is just a movie to you
[Verse 2]
E
From Lubbock, to Monaghan, to blue eyes crying
A
Rosie's Tamale House and Nolan Ryan
F#m B
This whole place is mystifying still
E
Now the old farm's an AirBnB
A
And the swimming holes are no longer free
F#m B
But there ain't no place I 'd rather be than home
[Chorus]
E C#m
So, here we are, where the clouds are as big as God
A E
And everyone wants to be a cowboy
F#m B E
And the cowboy just wants to be alone
So, get you a bandana and a nudie suit
A
But your true color's gonna shine on through
F#m B E
Paris, Texas is just a movie to you
E
Can't say i really blame you at all
A
I'm a little guilty of it too
F#m B E
But Paris, Texas is just a movie to you
