W. TX Teardrops Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
Well [C]the road maps of West
Texas never [G]gave me good advice
The trains all roll where the roads don't go,
now I [C]lay awake at night
Just wondering where the rest is
so I [G]hit that iron gate
And I yelled good-bye to to that wife of mine,
I [F]may be running [C]late

[Verse 2]
I'm a-rolling on, [G]on, I'm a-rolling on
[C]on
Rolling out past [G]El Paso Texas,
where I [C]might have had a home
I [F]made my bed, so [C]here I lie
[G]I'm rolling West Texas
[F]teardrops [C]in my eye

[Verse 3]
Though [C]I felt a lonesome feeling in Dulce,
[G]New Mexico
I was happier than I'd ever
been in [C]my El Paso home
But I thought about the woman
whom I [G]left to roam the land
And I cried so much it dug a
rut they [F]call the Rio Grande

[Verse 4]
[C]I'm a-rolling on, on,[G] I'm a-rolling on
[C]on
Rolling out past [G]El Paso Texas,
where I [C]might have had a home
I [F]made my bed, so [C]here I lie
[G]I'm rolling West Texas [F]teardrops
[C]in my [F]eye

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][F]
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
And [G]my destination is written
upon my [C]feet
And the [G]stars above are about
the only [C]company I keep
So raise my pass and [F]take my seat
[G]I'm rolling fast with
[F]a teardrop on my cheek
[G]

[Verse 6]
So [C]I guess there'll be no family,
so I [G]guess there'll be no wife
Gonna roll away on an old steel dray,
it's [C]gonna be my life
And the road maps I been reading,
I never [G]came to figure out
All I know is I'd explode
by [F]any other [C]route

[Verse 7]
I'm a-rolling on, [G]on, I'm a-rolling on
[C]on
Rolling out past [G]El Paso Texas,
where I [C]might have had a home
I [F]made my bed, so [C]here I lie
[G]I'm rolling West Texas
[F]teardrops in my [C]eye

[Verse 8]
I'm a-rolling on, [G]on, I'm a-rolling on
[C]on
Rolling out past [G]El Paso Texas,
where I [C]might have had a home
I [F]made my bed, so [C]here I lie
[G]I'm rolling West Texas
[F]teardrops [C]in my eye
And [G]I'm rolling West Texas
[F]teardrops in my [C]eye
And [G]I'm rolling West Texas
[F]teardrops [Fm]in m[C]y eye

[Outro 1]
[C]
