Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]When I die I may not go to [C]heaven
[G]I don't know if [D]they let cowboys [G]in
If they don't just let me go [C]to Texas,
boys
'Cause [G]Texas is as [D]close
as I've [G]been

[Verse 2]
[G]New York couldn't hold my at[C]tention
[G]De troit City could[D]n't
sing [G]my song
If tomorrow finds me busted
flat in Dal[C]las
I won't [G]care,
'cause [D]at least I'll know I'm [G]home

[Verse 3]
When [G]I die I may not go [C]to heaven
[G]I don't know if they [D]let cowboys [G]in
If they don't just let me go to [C]Texas,
boys
'Cause [G]Texas is as [D]close as I've
[G]been

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
I'd [G]ride through all of Hell
and half [C]of Texas
Just [G]to hear Willie Nel[D]son
sing a country [G]song
Beer just ain't as cold in old
Mil[C]waukee
My body's [G]here,
but my [D]soul's in San Ant[G]one

[Verse 5]
When [G]I die I may not go to [C]heaven
Well [G]I don't know if t[D]hey let cowboys i[G]n
If [C]they [G]don't just let me go to [C]Texas,
boys
'Cause [G]Texas is as [D]close as I've been
[G]

[Verse 6]
When I die, well,
I may not go [C]to heaven[G][C]
[G]I don't know if t[D]hey let c[G]owboys in
If [D]they [G]don't just let me go to [C]Texas,
boys
'Cause [G]Texas is as [D]close as I've been
[G]

[Verse 7]
When I die, well, I may not go to [C]heaven, no
[G]I don't know i[D]f they let cowboys i[G]n
If they don't just let me go to [C]Texas
'Cause [G]Texas is as [D]close as I've been
[G]

[Verse 8]
When [D]I d[G]ie, well,
I may not go to [C]heaven, no

boys
'Cause [G]Texas is as [D]close as I've [G]been

If they don't just let me go
