Chords

Track 9 of 10 on the album "...Sings" (2003) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
    G
She packed up her suntan lotion

        C                  G
And her bathing suits last night

  G
I drove her out to the airport

              G             D7
She caught an early morning flight

   G
It seems like this time every year

    C                G
She gets the urge to go

C                     G
I'm sitting high on a barstool

            D7                   G
She's high above the Gulf of Mexico
G N.C. [Chorus]
D    Cadd9 G                G7            C
I'll just  hang around this honky-tonk in Houston

          G                                 D7
Wondering what she sees in islands and palm trees

       G                G7                 C
If she wanted sand, she could have gone to Galveston

         G                           D7              G
Could it be the coast of Texas isn't far enough from me?
[Slide Guitar/Fiddle Solo] G G7 C G D7 G [Verse 2]
      G
She's soaking up the sun in Jamaica

    C                        G
I'm soaking up the suds back here

G
She kicks back with a Mai Tai

          G                  D7
I pop the top on a Lone Star Beer

    G
Her postcard reads "I wish you were here"

    C                   G
But I'll bet that's not true

       C                     G
'cause I might embarrass her out on the beach

      D7                         G
In my swimming trunks and cowboy boots
G N.C. [Chorus]
D    Cadd9 G                G7            C
I'll just  hang around this honky-tonk in Houston

          G                                 D7
Wondering what she sees in islands and palm trees

       G                G7                 C
If she wanted sand, she could have gone to Galveston

         G                           D7              G   G7  C
Could it be the coast of Texas isn't far enough from me?

            G                      D7                  G  Cadd9  G D G
I hope some Caribbean cowboy don't steal her love from me
