Bb             F     C   F
There wouldn’t be no Alamo,
Bb         F      C     F
No Cowboys in the Super Bowl
   Bb                C      Dm
No Lonesome Dove, no Yellow Rose
                 F
If it wasn’t for Texas

  Bb       F    C      F
I wouldn’t be a Willie fan,
   Bb   F        C    F
No body swam the Rio Grand
  Bb             C     Dm
I wouldn’t be an American,
                 F
If it wasn’t for Texas

Chorus:
 C              Bb             F
Ft. Worth would never cross my mind,
        C            Bb          F
There’d be no Austin City Limits sign
   Bb   F           C
No lone star of any kind,
                  F
If it wasn’t for Texas

    Bb    F       C      F
I’d never gone to Tennessee,
  Bb        F         C      F
To sing my songs and chase my dreams
Bb     F           C          Dm
Only heaven knows just where I’d be,
                 F
If it wasn’t for Texas

Repeat Chorus:
C              Bb             F
Ft. Worth would never cross my mind,
        C            Bb          F
There’d be no Austin City Limits sign
   Bb   F           C
No lone star of any kind,
                  F
If it wasn’t for Texas


Bb      F       C    F
It made me the man I am,
      Bb      F       C        F
Thank God for my ole’ stomping ground
        Bb            C                Dm
Wouldn’t be standing right here, right now
                 F
If it wasn’t for Texas,
                 Dm
If it wasn’t for Texas,
                 Bb
If it wasn’t for Texas
