[Verse]
                              Em
Your phone call took me by surprise

   A                        D
Gee, it's been a long, long time

   D                              Em
Since those hot and humid Texas nights

   A                        D
When we went swimm'n in the tide

                            Em
Now Corpus Christi seems so far away

  A                       D
And I'm not talk'n 'bout the miles

   D                           Em
And there ain't much I wouldn't give today

     A                      D
Just to see one of your smiles
[Chorus]
                      G
But here I sit alone in Denver

A                    D
Sipp'n the California wine

                     G
And I've got all night to remember you

 A                           D
 I'm in a lone star state of mind

                                     Em
I just saw John Wayne on the Late, Late Show

 A                        D
Save the girl and ride away

D                           Em
And I was hoping as the credits rolled

 A                           D
 He'd make it back to her someday
[Chorus]
                         G
But here I sit alone in Denver

A                    D
Sipp'n the California wine

                            G
And I've got all night to remember you

 A                           D
 I'm in a lone star state of mind
[Solo] [Bridge]
Em                      A
It's a thousand miles or more

Em                       A
From here to your front door

         Em           F#m      Bm
I'd be there tomorrow if I left today

Em                      A
And I'd just pack up my guitar

Em                          A
You know it's really not that far

         G                                     A
When you called you said I'd have a place to stay
[Chorus]
                       G
But here I sit alone in Denver

A                    D
Sipp'n the California wine

                         G
And I've got all night to remember you

 A                           D
 I'm in a lone star state of mind
