If You Ever Go To Houston

• F

Intro: F Bb 
  
Eb 
If you ever go to Houston 
               Bb 
Better walk right 
                             F 
Keep your hands in your pockets 
                    Bb 
And your gun belt tight 

Eb 
If you’re asking for trouble 
Bb 
If you’re looking for a fight 
F 
If you ever go to Houston 
Bb 
Boy, you better walk right 

Eb 
If you're ever down there 
Bb 
On back near Lamar 
F 
You better watch out for 
Bb 
The man with the shining star 

Eb 
Better know where you're going 
Bb 
Or stay where you are 
F 
If you’re ever down there 
Bb 
On back near Lamar 
Eb 
Well I know these streets 
Bb 
I’ve been here before 
F 
I nearly got killed here 
Bb 
During the Mexican War 

Eb 
Something always 
Bb 
Keeps me coming back for more 
F 
I know these streets 
Bb 
I’ve been here before 

Eb, Bb, F 

Eb 
If you ever go to Dallas 
Bb 
Say hello to Mary Ann 
F 
Say I’m still looking along the trigger 
Bb 
Hanging on the best I can 

Eb 
If you see her sister Lucy 
Bb 
Say I’m sorry I’m not there 
F 
Tell her other sister Betsy 
Bb 
to pray the sinner's prayer 

I got a restless fever  
burnin' in my brain 
Got to keep right forward,  
can't spoil the game 

The same way I'll leave here 
 will be the way that I came 
Got a restless fever 
 burnin' in my brain 

Mister policeman,  
can you help me find my gal? 
Last time I saw her  
was at the Magnolia Motel 

If you help me find her,  
you can be my pal 
Mister policeman, can you help me  
find my gal? 

If you ever go to Austin,  
Fort Worth or San Antone 
Find the barrooms I got lost  
in and send my memories home 

Put my tears in a bottle,  
screw the top on tight 
If you ever go to Houston,  
boy you'd better walk right
