Doug Sahm - I Can't Go Back To Austin chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [A] [B]
[E]
Well I was waiting a job with my band
And a real pretty girl grabbed me [B] by the hand
And in a flash we were gone
Stayed out of the motel [E] until dawn
Well I knew that her old man was mad
He didn't understand the [B] fun we had
I put that guitar player on the [E] floor
[B]
Now I can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
[A] Can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
I don't want to wind up crunched down
So Tex's heart [B] was warm
[E] That night she held my dreams
She [A] was part of all my schemes
[B] I can't go back to Austin
[E] anymore
Well [A]
[B]
[E]
I think of that girl now and then
I think about the way things [B] might have been
Every night Texas haunts me in my dreams
[F#m] [B] That girl was part of all [E] my schemes
Someday if I ever return
But until then my heart [B] will burn
That girl she opened every door
Now I can't go back to Austin
[E] anymore
I
[A] can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
I don't want to wind up crunched down
So Tex's heart [B] was warm
That [E] night she held my dreams
[G#] She [A] was part of all my schemes
Now [B] I can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
I [F#m] [B] can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
