West Texas Waltz

• D

INTRO: D  G  A7  D 
 
D                   G 
He was a honky tonk hero 
F#m                    Bm 
She was the west Texas rose 
G                            D 
He had his hands clenched in hatred 
    E7                         A7 
And she made the sweet flowers grow 
     D                 G 
They met on a Saturday evenin' 
     F#m                          Bm 
At a place called the Last Chance Saloon 
G                            D 
Her hand in his stopped his tremblin' 
                        A7                D 
When he laughed as they danced 'cross the room 

    F#m                   G 
The jukebox was playing a beautiful song 
  A7                         D 
A tune called the West Texas Waltz 
       F#m                             G 
And it seemed like the whole world was dancin' along 
         A7                   D 
With the music controlling it all 
 
 
SOLO 
 
 
Away, come away from that window 
Come lay down beside me a while 
You know I stepped out of the shadows 
To walk in the warmth of your smile 
Nobody knows me like you do 
You changed me and made me your man 
I gave up the life of an outlaw 
The day that you gave me your hand 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
D                   G 
He was a honky tonk hero 
    F#m                    Bm 
And she was the west Texas rose 
     G                 D 
They met on a Saturday evenin' 
                 A7            D 
And she made the sweet flowers grow
