C                          G            C 
The wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries 
C                              G              C 
When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes 
                                  F            C 
But if you listen tonight on that high, lonely plain 
C                               G              C 
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name 
                                G              C 
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name 
C                               G             C 
You've been on a road that just don't seem to end 
C                                     G          C 
Where that broken old heart of yours won't ever mend 
                                F            C 
You've crossed over bridges and bridges they burn 
C                  G         C 
So many rivers and so much to learn 
                    G           C 
So many bridges and so much to learn 
        F 
But the moon is so full, the stars are so bright 
       C 
And my hand is steady, my touch is light 
F 
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight 
         C                           Bb       C 
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight 
     C                           Bb      C 
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight 

C                                G                C 
We both have known hard luck And love that's gone wrong 
C                                        G               C 
When the ghosts take the shadows and The night takes too long 
                             F            C 
We folded our cards when the hand wasn't strong 
C                                      G           C 
But that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone 
C                                        G           C 
Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone 
        F 
And the moon is so full, the stars are so bright 
    C 
And my hand is steady, my touch is light 
F 
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight 
         C                           Bb        C 
and I'll Waltz you my darling across Texas tonight 
C                                Bb      C 
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight 
F 
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight 
         C                           Bb       C 
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight 
C                                Bb       C 
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
