He was just 18, full of fire and gasoline.
He was laying in Maine and they called him Texas. _ _
[C#] He went off to war, to a far and distant shore.
He never left his home before.
He was [G#] from Texas, _ [D#m] as they stormed that beach one foggy [G#] summer day. _
He [D#m] said, if I don't make it back, promise me [G#] one thing. _
Take [F#] me home if [C#] I die.
When [G#] I'm gone, [A#m] don't you cry.
Find [F#] some shade [C#] right beside a live [G#] oak tree.
Sing [F#] those old [C#] songs of faith.
I'll [D#m] fly away, [A#m] amazing grace.
And you [F#] find comfort [C#] knowing that my soul [G#] found peace.
[F#] And you can bury me [G#] beneath the deep blue [C#] skies of Texas. _

She was just [C#] 18, [G#] prettiest thing he'd [C#] ever seen.
Like a real life beauty queen and someday [G#] she'd be his wife.
[F#] For the next [C#] four years, she fought back her tears.
[G#] While he fought [C#] back his fears, [G#] fighting for his life.
[D#m] And in his darkest hours, [G#] her love would bring him the light.
[D#m] He would read [D#m] her letters.
[G#] He would pray at night, [F#] take me home if [C#] I die.
When [G#] I'm gone, [A#m] don't you cry.
[F#] Find some shade [C#] right beside a live [G#] oak tree. _
[F#] Sing those old [C#] songs of faith.
I'll [D#m] fly away, [A#m] amazing grace.
And you [F#] find comfort [C#] knowing that my soul [G#] found peace.
[F#] And you can bury me [G#] beneath the deep blue [C#] skies of Texas. _
[D#m] He always said the [A#m] real heroes [C#] never made [G#] it back home.
[D#m] Though the war was [A#m] long over, [C#] you know for him it still [G#] lived on.
And it still lives on.

_ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ When he was 83, [C#] still full of fire and gasoline.
He was still lean and mean, but they [G#] still called him Texas.
_ [C#] And on the day he died, she was right there by his side.
She held his hand and she softly [G#] sang his lullaby.
_ [F#] Take me home [C#] if I die.
[G#] When I'm gone, [A#m] don't you cry.
[F#] Find some shade [C#] right beside a [G#] live oak tree.
Sing those old [C#] songs of faith.
I'll [G#] fly away, [A#m] amazing grace.
And [F#] you find comfort [C#] knowing that my [G#] soul found peace.
[F#] And you can bury [G#] me.
[A#m] You can bury [G#] me.
[F#] You can bury [G#] me beneath the deep blue [C#] skies of Texas.
