Leavin' Texas chords by Jerry Jeff Walker


Jerry Jeff Walker Chords

Leavin' Texas
By Jerry Jeff Walker & Dave Roberts
As slurred on "A Man Must Carry On."

Capo 3(?)

Intro:  G (2 beats) C (2 beats)  (3x)

          G                  C               G
Well now Texas, I am just a little lost and beaten' down
             Em                 C                D      
Hell like a morning star thats ahead of me I am fadin' out
          C      Am7/B   Am              G    Em
But If I make it to the borders of that Rio Grande
             C                    D                  C (1 measure) G
Guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prarie


 G          C                            G
Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
              Em                 C               D
'cause I am alive again and with every footstep sett'n me free 
   C  Am7/B   Am                          G             Em
If I keep my smile in touch with you the good times we spent in those hills 
          C            D               C          D     G
They will always be a part of me as I live in my Texas Memory



CHORUS:

    C    Am7/B        Am              G
Oh Texas I am just a little lost and beatn' down
               Em                  C                 D
but like that morning star thats ahead of me that's fadin' out
               C     Am7/B    Am             G    Em
I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
          C                 D                  C           G    
So I can catch me one last sunset across the Prarie


SOLO  (same as chorus except last line is like last line of 2nd verse)


I see everything seems to be movn on so I am movn on
I don't deny I get a loneliness that comes sometimes
and all the miles and all the footsteps going down
aint' how I keep a count, for every lonly stretch
for I just kept on for keepn' on


CHORUS (2x)


Ending:   Em..... (fade)


Notes:

Every time a G is followed by an Em, you can play it like G  G/F# Em with 
the bass line decending (similar to C Am7/B Am)

Here's a little bit you can play when appropriate:


E
A
D
G
B   11 11 13 15 15
e   10 10 11 13 13
