[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][Dsus4][G]
[F][C][F]
[C][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[F]He was just [C]eighteen
Full of fire [F]and gasol[C]ine
He [F]was lean [C]and mean
And they called him Texas
[G]

[Verse 2]
[F]He went off [C]to war
To [F]a far and distant [C]shore
He'd never [F]left his home [C]before
He was from Texas
[G]

[Verse 3]
As [Dm]they stormed that beach one
foggy sum[F]mer [C]day[G]
He said if I [Dm]don't make it back promise
me [F]one thing
[G][Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Take [F]me home if I [C]die
When I'm [G]gone don't [Am]ya cry
Find some [F]shade right be
[C]side a live oak [G]tree
Sing those [F]old songs of [C]faith
I'll fly [Dm]away amazing [Am]grace
But you find [F]comfort knowing [C]that
my soul [G]found peace
And you can [F]bury me beneath the [G]deep blue skies

[Interlude 1]
of Texas
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C]
[G]

[Verse 5]
[F]Well she was just eight[C]een
Prettiest [F]thing he'd ever [C]seen
Like a [F]real life beauty queen
[C]And someday she'd be [G]his wife

[Verse 6]
[F]But for the next four [C]years
[F]She fought back her [C]tears
While [F]he fought back his [C]fears
Fighting [G]for his life

[Verse 7]
And [Dm]in his darkest hours
Her [G]love would bring him a light
[Dm]He would read her letters
[G]He would pray at night
Take [F]me

[Verse 8]
home if I [C]die
When I'm [G]gone don't ya [Am]cry
Find some [F]shade right be
[C]side a live [G]oak tree
Sing those [F]old songs of [C]faith
I'll fly [Dm]away amazing [Am]grace
But you find [F]comfort knowing
[C]that my soul [G]found peace
And you can [F]bury me beneath the
[G]deep blue skies of Texas
[C]

[Verse 9]
He always [Dm]said the [C]real [Am]heroes[C]
Never made it back [G]home
And though [Dm]the war was [F]long [Am]over
You [C]know for him it still lived [G]on

[Interlude 2]
And it still lives on
[G][F][C][F][C][F][C]
[G][F][C][F][C][F]
[C][G]

[Verse 10]
When [F]he was eighty-three
[C]Still Still full [F]of fire and gasol[C]ine
[F]He was still lean and mean
[C]And they still called him[G] Texas

[Verse 11]
And [F]on the day he [C]died
She was [F]right there by [C]his side
She [F]held his hand as [C]she softly
sang his [G]lullaby

[Verse 12]
Take me [F]home if I [C]die
When I'm [G]gone don't ya [Am]cry
Find some [F]shade right be
[C]side a live oak [G]tree
Sing those [F]old songs of [C]faith
I'll fly [G]away amazing [Am]grace
But you find [F]comfort knowing [C]that
my soul [G]found peace
And you can [F]bury [G]me
You can [Am]bury [F]me[Am][G]
You can [F]bury me beneath the [G]deep blue skies
