Emmylou Harris – West Texas Waltz (Guitar)

A
When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin'

                                       E
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car

                                       A
You'll be glad you don't have to drive far

          E                           A
You'll be happy you don't have to go far

          D
Park your pickups and Cadilacs, Fords and Renaults

    A                      E                 A  *
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

A
Grandmammy, grandpappy if you plan to stay happy

                                    E
You better lace up your best dancin shoes

                          A
Just by dancin' away your blues

        E                    A
Just by dancin' away your blues

D
So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze

     A                      E                 A  *
Come dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

A
I met a fine  banker and I'd sure like to thank him

                                   E
For the credit he gave me made me shout

                           A
I decided I'd just ask him out.

      E                            A
Yes I thought I just might ask her out

       D
I said close up your windows, honey, lock up your vaults

    A                      E                 A   *
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

A
We spent the next to the last dollar in the old ice cream parlor

                                E
On a milkshake and a malt and a pop

                             A
Right Next  to the ice cream shop

      E                    A
Next door to the ice cream shop

         D
Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts

A                                   E                 A   *
And one is dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

A
And the other is somethin', but really it's nothin'

                              E
To speak of it's somethin' to do

                               A
Just as soon as the dancin' is through

E                          A
Right after the dancin' is through

D
And if anybody asks you why, just tell it's because

         A                        E                 A
You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz.
