Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, this next song is a tune
that the Rolling Stones
Actually covered one of their live records
But I kinda tend to favor the original
That Mr. Waylon Jennings wrote
About one of my heros
Mr. Bob Wills
And I believe like Waylon like said back then,
you know
Once you're down in Texas
"Bob Wills is Still the King",
[D]ladies and gentle[G]men

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][Bm][D][G][D][B][Em][A][D]

[Verse 2]
Well, the [D]honky tonks in Texas
Were my [G]natural second [D]home
The way you tip your hat to the ladies
And that old [E]"Rose of San Ant[A]one"
Well, [G]I grew up on music
that [D]we call Western [G]Swing
It don't [D]matter who's in [B]Austin
Bob [Em]Wills is [A]still the King
[D]

[Verse 3]
Lord, I can still remember [G]all
the way it was back [D]then
In spite of all the hard times,
I'd [E]do it all [A]again
To [G]hear the Texas Playboys and
ole [D]Tommy Duncan [G]sing
Makes me [D]proud to be from [B]Texas
Where Bob [Em]Wills is [A]still the King
[D]

[Verse 4]
You can [G]hear the Grand Ol' Opry out of Nashville,
[D]Tennessee
It's the Home of Country Music,
on [E]that we all [A]agree
But when you [G]cross that
ol' Red River, hoss
That [D]just don't mean [G]a thing
'Cause [D]once you're down in [B]Texas
Bob [Em]Wills is still the King
[D]Play that fiddle,

[Interlude 2]
boy!
[D][G][D][E]
[A][D][Bm][D][G][D][B][Em][A]
[D]

[Verse 5]
Well, if [G]you ain't never been there
Well, I guess [D]you ain't been told
That you just can't live in Texas
Unless [E]you got a lot [A]of soul

[Verse 6]
It's the [G]home of Willie Nelson
It's the [D]home of Western [G]Swing
And he'll [D]be the first [B]to tell you
Bob [Em]Wills is still the [D]King
Yes, I'm proud to be from [B]Texas
Bob [E]Wills is [A]still the King
[D][C#][B][D]

[Outro 1]
Yeah, there we go
