If you're gonna [G#] play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot, but not for a [E] Louisiana man.
[F#m] So rousing up [E] that bow for [D] fated love and let's [A] all dance.
If you're gonna play in Texas, [D] you gotta [F#m] have a fiddle in the band.
[D] [A]
I remember down in Houston, [D] we were putting on [A] a show.
When a cowboy in [E] the back stood up [D] and yelled,
Hot [E] Nog Joe!
[A] He said, we love what you're doing.
[D] Boys, don't [A] get us wrong.
There's just something [E] missing in your [A] song.
If you're gonna play [E] in Texas, [D] you gotta have a fiddle [A] in the band.
That lead [E] guitar is hot, but not for a Louisiana man.
So rousing up that bow for fated [D] love and let's [A] all dance.
If you're gonna play [E] in Texas, [D] you gotta have a fiddle in [F#m] the band.

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