Waves Of Galveston Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Leave the waves of Galveston
but only if you can
'Cause you've been [G]hit behind the sea[Em]wall,
gently [D]folded in the sand
Papa left you for Heaven after your
mama lost her song
And though [G]your baby left you for [Em]Houston,
no [D]one stays there very long
[Gsus2][D]

[Verse 2]
[Gsus2][D]
There's a graveyard by the pizza parlor,
a gate that only closes
Snowbirds [G]fly away like [Em]secrets
no one [D]really wants to know
The climbing moon's always shining
on the kind of shells you keep
The broken [G]horse tied to the [Em]wa ter
[G]tower's [D]running [A]in his sleep

[Verse 3]
It's [G]too bad that you ain't [Gm]got a
[D]soft place to [Em]fall[Asus4][A]
[Asus4]It's too bad T[D]exas[G] leans to[Gm]
the [D]least of us [Em]all[Asus4]
And [G]says, "If [D]you can make the music
[G]then you can hav[D]e the dance
[G]If you can sho[D]ot the pis[G]tol then you can wea[D]r

[Interlude 1]
the pants"

[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]So leave the waves of Galveston
[G]but [D]only if you can
'Cause it's the [G]only place the [Em]Lone
Star kind have [D]offered you a hand
Your baby left you nothing but
a dog she left for dead
You never [G]knew you were a [Em]burden
till it [D]hit you on the [A]head
It's [G]too bad that you [Gm]ain't got
a [D]soft place to [Em]fall[Asus4]
It's [A]too [G]bad Texas lea[Gm]ns to the
[D]least in us [Em]all[Asus4]
[G]And says, "If you can [D]make the music
[G]then you can hav[D]e the dance
[G]If you can sho[D]ot the pis[G]tol then you
can [D]wear the pants"
