Guy Clark Ft. Worth Blues written by Steve Earle
Emmylou Harris harmony
D G * D
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright
A7 D
Pretty lights red and blue
D G * D
They shut down all the honky tonks tonight
A7 D
Say a prayer or two if they only knew
D G * D
You used to say the highway was your home
A7 D
But we both know that ain't true
D G * D
It's just the only place a man can go
A7 D
When he don't know where he's travelin to
G A D
But Colorado's always clean and healing
G A D
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool
D G * D
It never really was your kind of town
A7 D
So you went around with the Forth Worth Blues
D G * D
Somewhere out across the great divide
A7 D
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few
G * D
A man can see his way clear to the light
A7 D
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do
G A7 D
And they say Texas weather's always changin'
G A7 D
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new
G * D
And Houston really ain't too bad a town
A7 D
So you hung around with the Ft. Worth Blues
SOLO
D G * D
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
A7 D
Silver light over green and blue
D G * D
And every place I travel to find
A7 D
Some kind of a sign that you've been through
G A7 D
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
G A7 D
And London never fails to leave me blue
D G * D
Paris really ain't my kind of town
A7 D
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
G * alternative a D sus can be played instead
