[Intro] Em [Verse 1]
                          Am
I'm gonna leave old Texas now

            B7 Gm                G    B7
They got no use for the longhorn cow

                     Em               Am
They've ploughed and fenced my cattle range

           B7   Gm           Em         Am   B7   Em
The people there are all so strange
[Verse 2]
                           Am
I'll say goodbye to the Alamo

            B7  Gm          G   B7
And turn my head toward Mexico

        Em                     Am
Make my home on the wide, wide range

           B7   Gm          Em         Am   B7   Em
The people there are not so strange
[Verse 3]
                             Am
And when my ride on Earth is done

             B7    Gm               G     B7
I'll take my chance on the promised land

                Em           Am
I'll tell Saint Peter that I know

           B7  Gm              Em    B7
A cowman's soul ain't white as snow

            Em             Am
But in that far-off cattle land

             B7   Gm      Em
He sometimes acted like a man
