_ Here's a song I wrote on a plane between Dallas and Austin. _
Going _ _ _ to El Paso.
_ _ _ _ Whoops. _ _
Now this is what gave us the idea to come down here.
This is a song about a guy that _ _ _ _ _ _ _
probably did as much for our kind of music as anybody. _ _ _
_ _ Well the honky tonks and tenses were [A] my natural [E] second home.
_ _ Where did you head to the ladies and the rose [B] of San Antonio?
_ _ [E]
[A] I grew up on music [E] that we call western swing.
_ It don't matter who's in Austin, [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king. _ _ _ _
But I can still remember [A] the way things were [E] back then.
_ In spite of all the hard times, I'd live [B] it all again.
_ _ [Ab] [A] Hear the Texas [E] playboys and Tommy Duncan sing. _
Makes me proud to be from Texas [Em] where [B] Bob Wills is still [E] the king.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] You can hear the granola cream, [E] Nashville, Tennessee. _
It's the home of country music, home that we [B] all agree.
_ _ [E] But when you cross that old Red River, horse, that [A] just don't mean a [E] thing.
_ _ Once you're down in [B] Texas, Bob Wills is [E] still the king. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[B] _ [E] _ _ _ Well [A] if you ain't never been there, [E] then I guess you ain't been told. _
That you just can't live in Texas unless you got [B] a lot of soul.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] It's the home of Willie Nelson, [A] home of western [E] swing. _ _
He'll be the first to tell you [B] Bob Wills is [E] still the king.
