G                            C              G                    
I woke up this morning with Texas on my mind 
                   Em                Am           D 
Thinkin bout my friends there, and a girl I left behind 
G    
The way she held me when we kissed 
      C             G 
The lovin that we'd done 
   C                 G                                                           
And how I left her waving goodbye 
D                   G 
Standin in a Texas sun 

         C                   G 
I got a half a mind to call her 
C              G 
Half a mind to go 
C               G 
Jump a big jet liner 
     D                      G 
And wing it on my way back home 

G                                     C                    G 
All the morning it was rainin, on the streets of Liverpool 
                     Em               Am                   D 
So I stayed in and played guitar, and sang "The Lovesick Blues" 
G 
My mind kept goin back in time 
    C                G 
To when we both had fun 
  C                  G  
And how I left her waving to me 
 D                  G 
Standin in a Texas sun 

Chorus 

Bridge: 
C                    G                C 
In my dreams she's still in love with me 
C                 G             C 
But I'd have to travel home to see 
D                             C                 G 
If she's found another man to take the place of me 
D                                    C          G,C,D,C 
Guess I'll have to keep on dreaming sunny memorie------s

Wishin I was back there, doesn't help me much at all 
              C                                 D 
When I wanna hold her, doesn't help me much to call 
  G                                            
Stuck here in this seaport town 
 C              G  
Longing for the one 
 C       G 
That I left behind me there, 
D                    G 
Standing in a Texas sun
