T For Texas

D
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
G
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
      A                                        D
T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me

[Verse 2]
D
If you don't want me, mama you sure don't have to stall
       G                                          D
If you don't want me, mama you sure don't have to stall
      A                                         D
I can get more women than a passenger train can haul

[Verse 3]
D
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall
          G                                   D
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall
          A                                           D
I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma, just to see her jump and fall

[Verse 4]
D
And if that's your mama, you better tie her to your side
   G                                        D
If that's your mama, better tie her to your side
              A                                     D
'Cause if she flags my train I'm sure gonna let her ride

[Verse 5]
D
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel
          G                                        D
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel
          A                                     D
I'm gonna shoot that rounder that stole away my gal

[Verse 6]
D
I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
           G                                       D
I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
        A                                   D
Than to be in Atlanta, treated like a dirty dog

[Chorus]
D
Well, it's T for Texas, T for Tennessee
G
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
      A                                        D     A D
T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me
