Selection chords: Katie Paterson

 Intro: Dm C Dm F C

 Verse:
                Dm                                     C
 Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
                    Dm                               C
 I shouldʼve known better than to take him back to Abilene
            F
 I put him right back into her arms
              G
 I wasnʼt a match for that kind of spark
 
 Chorus:
                          F
 Sheʼs from Texas, I can tell by the way
                               C
 Heʼs two stepping ʼround the room
                                    Dm
 And judging by the smile thatʼs written on his face
                        G
 Thereʼs nothing I can do
 
                      F
 It doesnʼt take a crystal ball to see
                   Am
 A cowboy always finds a way to leave
                       F
 Drinking Jack all by myself
  G                         C
 Heʼs choosinʼ Texas, I can tell

 Dm F C
 
 Verse:
                    Dm                              C
 Well, I guess he forgot about the Smoky Mountain rain
                Dm                                  C
 Them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing
             F
 He always loved "Amarillo by Morning"
              G
 I shouldʼve taken that as a warning
 
 Chorus:
                          F
 Sheʼs from Texas, I can tell by the way
                               C
 Heʼs two stepping ʼround the room
                                    Dm
 And judging by the smile thatʼs written on his face
                        G
 Thereʼs nothing I can do
 
                      F
 It doesnʼt take a crystal ball to see
                   Am
 A cowboy always finds a way to leave
                       F
 Drinking Jack all by myself
  G                         C
 Heʼs choosinʼ Texas, I can tell
 
 Bridge:
            F                       G
 When Iʼm eastbound and down and I canʼt help but cry
          F                       G
 ʼCause I 40 gets lonelier with every mile
        F                        G
 Iʼll know that his mind wasnʼt ever gonna change
             Dm                         G
 ʼCause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State
 
 Chorus:
                          F
 Sheʼs from Texas, I can tell by the way
                               C
 Heʼs two stepping ʼround the room
                                    Dm
 And judging by the smile thatʼs written on his face
                        G
 Thereʼs nothing I can do
 
                      F
 It doesnʼt take a crystal ball to see
                   Am
 A cowboy always finds a way to leave
                       F
 Drinking Jack all by myself
  G                         C
 Heʼs choosinʼ Texas, I can tell
 
 
 Drinking Jack all by myself
 
 Heʼs choosinʼ Texas, I can tell
 
 Outro:
 
 Come on, baby
 
 Oh yeah
 
 Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
