Key of G, As recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker [Intro] G C Am D C D G [Verse 1]
G
There's a place I know where we all go,

  C                    Am
A little ways down the road,

         D
It ain't far from here, we like to sit and drink beer,

     C   D             G
Play dominoes and tell jokes.

G
Folks been stopping by since ’49,

C                   Am
Eighteen Hundred, I mean!

      D
Ain't nothing fancy, just kids and ranches and

C           D          G
Clean white shirts and jeans!
[Chorus]
C               D      G                        Em
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,

C           D              C        D       G
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!

C             D                G                    Em
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your sockS,

C             D                  C         D    G
Sure sign you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!

G
Well, let me tell you now all about the town . . .

C              Am
How it came to be

       D           Am
In the 1800's they came in buggys

   C        D             G
To meet and trade and buy feed.

               G
They built the blacksmith's shop, then later on

     C                Am
They added the cotton gin. . .

        D                  Am
But the old dance hall and general store’s

         C     D        G
Where it all begins and ends!
[Chorus]
C               D      G                        Em
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,

C           D              C        D       G
Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!

C             D                G                    Em
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,

C             D                  C         D    G
Sure sign you spent some time in beautiful Lukenbach!

G
In the 1950's people moved to cities,

C                Am
Leaving it all behind

D                  Am
Luckenbach closed  down for good,

        C         D      G
It just fell on a harder time

G
One day Hondo, driving by,

C               Am
Wished he had a beer

      D                       Am
So he bought the place and he opened it up

       C      D         G
That's reason we're all here
[Chorus]
C               D      G                        Em
Lots of smiling faces, little children running around,

Everybody's somebody in an old hill country town!

C             D                G                    Em
Dirt daubbers humming, see the stickleburrs on your socks,
