Capo 1
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Deep in the heart of Texas, a campfire whispers softly in the dawn
G
Morning coming on, footsteps of a fawn
D
Falls behind his mother in the quiet of the trees
A G D
Deep in the heart of Texas, there’s shelter in the breeze
[Verse 2]
D
Deep in the heart of Texas
The lightning runs the distance of the sky
G
Burns a mother’s eyes, drowns a baby’s cry
D
Clutched against her safe within the shelter of her arms
A G D
Deep in the heart of Texas, the thunder keeps you warm.
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
D
Deep in the heart of Texas, a siren kills the silence of my sleep
G
There’s trouble on the street, brings me to my knees
D
There beside my brother lying quiet on the floor
A G D
Deep in the heart of Texas, a good time takes one more
[Verse 4]
D
Deep in the heart of Texas, a lover steals a victim in the dark
G
Puts a truck in park, kisses on the mark
D
A trembling hand wipes another teardrop from her face
A G D
Deep in the heart of Texas, the magic takes its place
A G D
Deep in the heart of Texas; the magic takes its place.
