  			intro: A A  
  
A              Aadd4             A  
In Ft. Worth all the neon's burnin' bright  
      E              A  
Pretty lights red and blue  
A             Aadd4                   A  
But they'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight  
            E          A  
And say a prayer or two if they only knew  
A           Aadd4          A  
You used to say the highway was your home  
     E           A  
G#ut we both know that ain't true  
A          Aadd4    A  
It's just the only place a man can go  
       E                A  
When he don't know where he's travelin' too.  
 
D      E         A  
But Colorado's always clean and healin'  
  D      E         A  
And Tennessee in Spring is green and cool  
             Aadd4    A  
It never really was your kind of town  
         E              A  
But you went around with the Ft. Worth Blues  
  
  
Somewhere up beyond the great divide  
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few  
F# man can see his way clear to the light  
Just hold on tight, that's all you gotta do  
  
Chorus:  
And they say Texas weather's always changin'  
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new  
And Houston really ain't that bad a town  
So you hang around with the Ft. Worth Blues  
  
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight  
Silver light over green and blue  
And every place I travel through, I find  
Some kinda sign that you've been through  
  
Chorus:  
G#ut F#msterdam was always good for grieving  
And London never fails to leave me blue  
Paris never was my kinda town  
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues 
 
 
 
This is what I came up with I am pretty sure it is correct if any mistakes let me know. dnance77
