Swell San Angelo Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]An [G]d t[C]he [G]Eastern C[C]ity
was once my [G]home
Throughout [C]the world this
city is well [G]known
An[C]d I thought it was the best
until I came out in [A]the West
And [D]found out what these
[G]folks knew all [C]along
That out here where the
lazy concho [G]flows
There [C]dwells a town best known as Angelo
[G]Where folks mee[C]t but seldom part
Unless they just don't have a heart
[A]That's [D]big enough for [G]Swell St. Angelo
[C]Swell St. Angelo
[G]The[C] grandest place I kno[G]w
Now, I have [C]roamed this wide world o 'er
But I'll never [A]move no more
[D]For I love you [G]swell, son, and [C]you loathe
Now here is where the
people feel the [G]same
They al[C]ways called you
right by your first [G]name.
Now [C]if you think you're a big shot,
you just won't fit in [G]with our [A]lot,
be[D]cause we all are [G]on an equal [C]plane.
A banker might wear a diamond in his [G]tie,
but a [C]haughty gleam is never in his [G]eye.
And [C]when he grasps a cowboy's hand,
there's something they both understand,
[A]this is [D]the
Place where [G]friendship never [C]dies,
Swell St. Angelo,
[G]The[C] grandest place I kno[G]w.
Now I [C]have roamed this wide world o 'er,
But I'll never move no [A]more,
[D]For I [A]love you, [G]Swell St. Angelo.
[C]Now we have cattle,
sheep, and cotton [G]too,
[C]And the sun is always shining [G]through.
We may [C]not have a world of gold,
But we've got love right in [A]our souls,
[D]That's what keeps [G]us all
from feeling [C]blue.
Now when you're tired
of the world and [G]its woes,
And you'd [C]like to give your
heart a chance to [G]grow.
Just come on out here in the West[C],
and then you'll soon know [G]all the rest
[A]About the[D] town of Swe[G]ll, San Ang[C]elo.
