Texas Forever (CHORDS) by Kevin Fowler

[Intro]~
~E ~A ~E ~A


[Verse 1]~
         ~E
It’s a single star waiving, so proud and tall

           ~C#m
It’s the smell of gunpowder on the Alamo walls

    ~B
A red corpus sunset, hill country bluebonnets

~A
Brisket at coopers, Joe T’s enchiladas

     ~E
It’s floatin’ the frio, cold beer in hand

     ~C#m
It’s a couple two-stepping to a twin fiddle band

         ~B
It’s a saturday rodeo, friday night lights

    ~A            ~A/G#         ~A/F#          ~B
The prettiest girl you’ve ever seen in you life


[Chorus]~
      ~A
For those who the mud of the Brazos and

~E                            ~B
Red rivers run through our blood

          ~C#m              ~A
Let the world know, we’ll fight to the death

          ~E                     ~B
For the land and the people we love

         ~C#m                ~A
Gather round friends, it’s time for a toast

           ~E                 ~A
Let us raise up a cold one together

           ~E           ~A
To Texas forever


[Verse 2]~
          ~E
From the pines to the mountains, the coast to the plains

           ~C#m
There's a pride down inside us, It’s hard to explain

         ~B
But if ever you earn one then always you’ll be

         ~A
You may wonder this world but your heart never leaves

          ~E
All these cowboys still saddle their horses to ride

       ~C#m
Out here there’s just somethings that won’t ever die

          ~B
Like a ghost in the alley of some six street bar

          ~A             ~A/G#         ~A/F#     ~B
You can still hear the ringin’ from Stevies guitar


[Chorus]~
      ~A
For those who the mud of the Brazos and

~E                            ~B
Red rivers run through our blood

          ~C#m              ~A
Let the world know, we’ll fight to the death

          ~E                     ~B
For the land and the people we love

         ~C#m                ~A
Gather round friends, it’s time for a toast

           ~E                 ~A
Let us raise up a cold one together

           ~E           ~A
To Texas forever


[Instrumental]~
~E ~A ~E ~A ~B


[Outro]~
         ~C#m                ~A
Gather round friends, it’s time for a toast

           ~E                 ~A
Let us raise up a cold one together

            ~E       ~A
To Texas forever

          ~E         ~A
Texas forever
