the texas promise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I never did see Denver[F],
'cos my old car gave [G]up
'Bout a [C]mile inside the [Am]Colorado [Dm]line[G]
So I [C]thumbed on to a truck [Am]stop,
walked [F]in and took [C]a table
Found the dollar tip [G]someone [Am]had left,
pre[F]tended [G]it [C]was mine

[Verse 2]
Now [C]she could tell by lookin',
[Am]that I wasn'[F]t much to look at[G]
My [C]boots and jeans had
[Am]seen a better [Dm]time[G]
But [C]as she poured my cof[Am]fee she
[F]asked me where [C]I came from
So I started [Em]thinkin' [Am]Texas
on the [F]Color[G]ado [C]line
She [F]closed her eyes and

[Verse 3]
[Em]visualised
the [Dm]miles of prairie [C]flowers
Where [Am]tumbleweeds go
[Em]waltzing in the [Dm]wind[G]
And be[F]fore the night was [Em]over
I [Dm]made a Texas [C]boast
That [F]I would take her with m[C]e,
when [Dm]I went home again
[C]

[Verse 4]
Though I never did see Denver[Am],
[F]never made my fortun[G]e
I was [C]richer than [Am]I dreamed
I'd ever [Dm]be[G]
[C]So satisfied just [Am]knowin' that
[F]the litte promise grow[C]in'
In that Color[G]ado wo[Am]man
[F]who shared my [G]dream [C]with me

[Verse 5]
And we talked a lot [Am]of Texas,
through the [F]Rocky Mountain Sum[G]mer
Then [C]Winter came [Am]and laid
her blanket [Dm]down[G]
It was [C]ten below and fall[Am]in' as my
[F]woman lay in la[C]bour
And I prayed for [G]God to help [Am]her,
there was [F]noone [G]else [C]around.

[Verse 6]
[F]She closed her eyes and [Em]visualised
the [Dm]miles of prairie [C]flowers
Where [Am]tumbleweeds go
[Em]waltzing in [Dm]the wind[G]
And I [F]held her close and [Em]told her
to be[Dm]lieve that Texas [C]promise
That [F]I would take her with m[C]e,
when [Dm]I went ho[G]me aga[C]in ....

[Verse 7]
She never did see Morn[Am]in',
but she [F]held our baby daugh[G]ter
She [C]kissed us both [Am]and told
me not to [Dm]cry[G]
[C]She said "We'll name our [Am]baby
[F]'Promise', and you take her hom[C]e to Texas
And Honey, [Am]I'll see Texas [F]through
our [G]daughter's [C]eyes"

[Verse 8]
Then [F]I closed my eyes and [Em]visualised
[Dm]the miles of prairie [C]flowers
Where [Am]tumbleweeds go [Em]waltzing
in [Dm]the wind[G]
And there was [F]Colorado shin[Em]in'
in the [Dm]eyes of Texas [C]Promise
And I [F]knew that she'd be with [C]me
when [Dm]I went ho[G]me aga[C]in ...[G].
And [Am]she saw a lot [F]of Texaaaaas .....[C]
