Tornado Time In Texas



    Bm
Well the sky was blacker than a funeral suit

Bm
Hotter than a depot stove

Bm
Hide in the cellar

Bm
Here comes Amarillo

G       F#     Bm
Blowing up the road



    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



Bm
You got your hail stones big as hen eggs boys

Bm
Clouds just as green can be

Bm
Ol mother nature's raisin hell

               G      F#   Bm
She parked the pickup in a tree


Chorus:

   D            A
Tornado time in Texas

         A                       D
Take the paint right off of your barn

   D            A
Tornado time in Texas

         A               F#
Blow the tattoo off your arm


Solo - Bm


Now when pigs fly, no I mean really fly
You can bet that it's blowin hard
Uncle Clarence was sittin in the out-house 
Now he's sitting in the yard
And Granny's got the barn cat under her arm
She's got a dish pan over her head
Daddy's countin kids, four, five, six
You better bring a loaf of bread

Chorus

Solo - Verse Chords X2


Hidin in the cellar with cannin jars
Sounds like a train up top
Hold your breath, peek outside
To see what we ain't got
Well it'll take your wheat, take your corn
Even take the cotton balls
Suck the Red river just dry as a bone
And dump it on Witchita Falls

Chorus

Blow the tattoo off your arm...
