  			Intro: |E7  A7 |D  | 

Verso 1: 
      D 
We've all read of the beautiful stories 
                              A7 
Of the countries far over the sea 

From whence came our ancestors 
                              D 
To establish this land of the free 

There are some folks who still like to travel 
   D7                      G 
To see what they have over there 
                           D 
But when they go look it's not like the book 
         E7           A7         D 
And they see there is none to compare 



To beautiful beautiful Texas 
                                A7 
Where the beautiful bluebonnets grow 

We're proud of our forefathers 
                     D 
Who fought at the Alamo 

You can live on the plains or the mountains 
   D7                         G 
Or down where the sea breezes blow 
                              D 
But you're still in beautiful Texas 
         E7        A7           D 
The most beautiful place that I know 

Instrumental: |D  |D  |D  |G  |G  |D  B7  |E7  A7  |D  | 

Verso 2: 
        D 
You can travel on beautiful highways 
                        A7 
By cities by village by farms 

Or fly above on the skyways 
                             D 
To the beauty below you will charm 

White cotton green pastures blue rivers 
       D7                                G 
Golden wheat fields and fruit trees that bear 
                                 D 
You may search till doomsday and then you will say 
     E7        A7        D 
That Texas has beauty to spare 

 

To beautiful beautiful Texas 
                                A7 
Where the beautiful bluebonnets grow 

We're proud of our forefathers 
                     D 
Who fought at the Alamo 

You can live on the plains or the mountains 
   D7                         G 
Or down where the sea breezes blow 
                              D 
But you're still in beautiful Texas 
         E7        A7           D 
The most beautiful place that I know
