Way Out West in Texas
WAY OUT WEST IN TEXAS by Gene Autry
Intro: F C A D G C
C F C
Way out west in Texas, it's where I long to be
F C A D G
Ridin' on the prairie with a good horse under me
C F
C
For three long years I've bumed around, my heart is sad and blue
F C A D
G C
I'm goin' back to the wooly West where your friends are always true
G C
Yo-di-la-di, Yo-di-la-di, Yo-di-la-di, Yo-di-la-di-hee
[Yodel]
C F
C
Well, way out west in Texas where the atmosphere is light
F C A D G
You roll up in your blanket on the prairie every night
C
F C
Where the rattlesnakes and the old horned toads, they sleep right by your
side
F C A D G C
On the desert sands of Texas, it's where I long to ride.
[Yodel]
[Instrumental of Verse]
C F C
Well, way out west in Texas around that old camp fire
F C A D G
We sing the songs of long ago and strum on my guitar
C F C
My heart is ever yerning, but I will be there soon
F C A D G C
I'll settle down in Texas when the cactus is in bloom
[Instrumental of Verse]
C F C
Well, a way out west in Texas, round up in the spring
F C A D G
You'll hear me sing this little song while ridin' on the range
C F C
Broadway lights appeal to you, moon light suits me fine
F C A D G C
I'll settle down in Texas, I'll leave my blues behind
Tag [Yodel]
