  			C                     F              C 
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright 
       G7             C 
Pretty lights red and blue 
                         F           C 
They'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight 
                G7               C 
Say a prayer or two if they only knew 


C                   F                C 
You used to say the highway was your home 
            G7              C 
But we both know that ain't true 
                   F               C 
It's just the only place a man can go 
              G7                        C 
When he don't know where he's travelin' to 


F              G                C 
But Colorado's always clean and healing 
F            G                   C 
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool 
                F                C 
It never really was your kind of town 
            G7                         C 
So you went around with the Fort Worth Blues 


C             F                  C 
Somewhere out across the great divide 
                 G7                      C 
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few 
                  F                C 
A man can see his way clear to the light 
              G7                        C 
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do 


F                  G                C 
And they say Texas weather's always changin' 
F                       G                  C 
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new 
                   F               C 
And Houston really ain't too bad a town 
            G7                         C 
So you hung around with the Fort Worth Blues  

SOLO 
        
C                        F          C 
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight 
       G7                   C 
Silver light over green and blue 
                  F         C 
And every place I travel to find 
                G7                   C 
Some kind of a sign that you've been through 


F                 G                C 
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving 
                  F                C 
And London never fails to leave me blue 
             F                C 
Paris really ain't my kind of town 
            G7                         C 
So I walked around with the Fort Worth Blues
