Tuning: Standard, capo on the 2nd fret
Intro:
G
Vers:
G
Dallas packed her suitcase
C G
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
G
She made leaving me look easy
C G
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
D
I took her out of Texas
C
When she was just a girl
D
But old Tennessee and me
C D
Couldn't take Texas out of her
Chorus:
G C D
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
C
If I could move Texas east
D
Then she'd be here with me
G C D
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
C D
If Dallas was in Tennessee

Vers 2 (same chords as vers 1):
By now she's leaving Memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground
Chorus:
G C D
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
C
If I could move Texas east
D
Then she'd be here with me
G C D
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
C D G
If Dallas was in Tennessee
C D G
Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee
Outro:
G
Dallas packed her suitcase
C G
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
