Lone Star Hotel Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][G][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]The Lone Star Hotel
Café is [C]nothing but a di[G]ve
And [C]Florence Smith showed [G]up there,
Lord, every day at [D]five
[G]Now, Florence was a waitress,
have [C]I mentioned that before?
[G]Ser[C]ving beer to strang[G]ers and to
[D]some she'd seen before
[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Florence used to ride a little
[F]Appaloo[C]sa mare
In the barrel race at the rodeo,
she had that beehive [G]hair
There's [C]pictures of her on the wall
[F]as you pay your [C]check
Good [F]Lord, didn't she look
[C]good back [G]in [C]195[G]6?

[Verse 3]
I was loving [G]Florence [C]and she
was ignoring [G]me
Oh, [C]Florence had exper[G]ience,
it was the first time out for [D]me
[G]Lord, I tried to tell her,
but the [C]only words I [G]found
Was "Give me [C]greasy enchil[G]adas and
[D]a beer to [G]wash [D]it down"
[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Florence quit the Lone Star Hotel
and [F]never was seen [C]again
And me, I quit West Texas and I
ain't been back since [G]then
[C]That was years ago, Lord, too [F]many to recall
[C]But I r[F]emember Flor[C]ence and
them [G]pictures on the wall
[C]

[Verse 5]
So [G]here's to you, West Texas,
[C]you old rodeo que[G]en[C][G]
[C]How I miss your [G]beer joints and
your shuffleboard machines
[D]Her[G]e's to you, West Texas,
[C]how I miss [G]the smell
Of [C]greasy [G]enchiladas at the [D]old
