[A] [D]
Your phone call took me by [Em] surprise, [A] gee it's been a long long [D] time
Since those hot and humid [Em] Texas nights [A] when we went swimming [D] in the tide
My Corpus Christi it seems [Em] so far away [A] and I'm not talking about [D] the mile
And there ain't much I [Em] wouldn't give today [A] just to see one of [D] your smiles
But here I sit alone [G] in Denver, [A] sipping the [D] California white
And I've got all night [Em] to remember [Bm] you
[A] I'm in a long thirsty [D] night, I just saw John Wayne [Em] on the late late show
[A] Saved the girl [D] and right away, and I was hoping [Em] as the credits roll
[A] He'd make it back to [D] her someday
But here I sit [G] alone in Denver, [A] sipping the [D] California white
And I've got all night [G] to remember you, [A] I'm in a long [D] thirsty night

Can [Em] you take a thousand miles or more, from here to your front door
I'd be there tomorrow [F#] if I lived [Bm] today
And I'd just pack up my guitar, you know it's really not [Bm] that far
When [Em] you called you said I'd have a [A] face to make, and here I [G] am in Denver
[A] Sipping the California [D] white
