Verse 1:
            Ebm                                         Db
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
                Ebm                                Db
I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene
          Gb
I put him right back into her arms
           Ab
I wasn't a match for that kinda spark

Chorus:
                       Gb
She's from Texas I can tell by the way
                            Db
He's two steppin' round the room
                                Ebm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
                      Ab
There's nothin' I can do
                  Gb
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
                Bbm
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
                       Gb
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
Ab                        Db   Ebm   Db
He's choosin' Texas I can tell

Verse 2:
                    Ebm                              Db
Well, I guess he forgot about the smoky mountain rain
              Ebm                                 Db
Them old Hank tunes the Memphis blues we used sing
          Gb
He always loved Amarillo By Morning
          Ab
I shoulda taken that as warning

Chorus:
                       Gb
She's from Texas I can tell by the way
                            Db
He's two steppin' round the room
                                Ebm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
                      Ab
There's nothin' I can do
                  Gb
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
                Bbm
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
                       Gb
Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosin' Texas I can tell

Bridge:
         Gb                       Ab
When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry
        Bbm                   Ab
Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile
     Gb                        Ab
I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change
          Ebm                        Ab
Cause his heart still belongs to the lone star state

Chorus:
                       Gb
She's from Texas I can tell by the way
                            Db
He's two steppin' round the room
                                Ebm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
                      Ab
There's nothin' I can do
                  Gb
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

He's choosin' Texas I can tell
