Fort Worth Blues by Steve Earle Use capo as you please
C                     F              C
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright

       G7             C
Pretty lights red and blue

                         F           C
They'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight

                G7               C
Say a prayer or two if they only knew

C                   F                C
You used to say the highway was your home

            G7              C
But we both know that ain't true

                   F               C
It's just the only place a man can go

              G7                        C
When he don't know where he's travelin' to

F              G                C
But Colorado's always clean and healing

F            G                   C
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool

                F                C
It never really was your kind of town

            G7                         C
So you went around with the Fort Worth Blues

C             F                  C
Somewhere out across the great divide

                 G7                      C
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few

                  F                C
A man can see his way clear to the light

              G7                        C
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do

F                  G                C
And they say Texas weather's always changin'

F                       G                  C
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new

                   F               C
And Houston really ain't too bad a town

            G7                         C
So you hung around with the Fort Worth Blues 
SOLO
C                        F          C
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight

       G7                   C
Silver light over green and blue

                  F                C
And every place I travel through I find

                G7                   C
Some kind of a sign that you've been through

F                 G                C
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving

F                G                 C
And London never fails to leave me blue

             F                C
Paris really ain't my kind of town

            G7                         C
So I walked around with the Fort Worth Blues
