Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro ,,, same progression throughout song

Ohio was a riverbank

A 10 speed layin' in the weeds

Cannonball off an old rope swing

Long, long summer days

Tennessee was a guitar

First big dream of mine

If I made it, yeah, that'd be just fine

I just wanted to play, I just wanted to play, but...

Chorus

Texa-s was green eyes crying goodbye

Was a long drive

A heartache I'm still trying to get through

 No chord --

Texas was you

Carolina was a black car

A big white number three

California was a yellow jeep

Cruisin' down Big Sur

Georgia was a summer job

And 'Bama was a spring break

I got memories all over the place

But only one still hurts, only one still hurts like

Chorus

Texas was green eyes crying goodbye

Was a long drive

A heartache I'm still trying to get through

Texas was you

Texas was my whole life waving goodbye

Thought I'd die

A heartache I'm still trying to get through

Texas was you

It will always be you
