[A]
If you're gonna play [E] in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot, but not for a Louisiana man.
[F#] So rolls [E] enough that both of [D] fate need love and [A] let's all dance.
If you're gonna [E] play in Texas, [D] you gotta have a [F#m] fiddle in the band.
[D] [A]

If you're gonna play [E] in Texas, [D] you gotta have [A] a fiddle in the band.
That lead [E] guitar is hot, but not [D] for a Louisiana [E] man.
[F#m] So rolls enough [E] that both of fate need [D] love and let's [A] all dance.
If you're gonna [E] play in Texas, [D] you gotta have a [F#m] fiddle in the band.
[D] [A]
[E] [D] [A]
So we dusted [E] off our boots and [D] put our cowboy [A] hats on straight.
Them Texans [E] raised the roof when [D] Jeff opened up [E] his case.
[A] You say y'all all want a [E] two [D]-step, you say you want [A] a do-si-do.
Well here's your [E] fiddlin' song before [A] we go.
If you're gonna play [E] in Texas, [D] you gotta have a fiddle in [A] the band.
That lead [E] guitar is hot, but [D] not for a Louisiana [E]
man.
[F#m] So rolls enough [E] that both of fate [D] need love and let's [A] all dance.
