Fort Worth Blues
by Steve Earle
Use capo as you please
C F C
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright
G7 C
Pretty lights red and blue
F C
They'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight
G7 C
Say a prayer or two if they only knew
C F C
You used to say the highway was your home
G7 C
But we both know that ain't true
F C
It's just the only place a man can go
G7 C
When he don't know where he's travelin' to
F G C
But Colorado's always clean and healing
F G C
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool
F C
It never really was your kind of town
G7 C
So you went around with the Fort Worth Blues
C F C
Somewhere out across the great divide
G7 C
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few
F C
A man can see his way clear to the light
G7 C
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do
F G C
And they say Texas weather's always changin'
F G C
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new
F C
And Houston really ain't too bad a town
G7 C
So you hung around with the Fort Worth Blues
SOLO
C F C
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
G7 C
Silver light over green and blue
F C
And every place I travel through I find
G7 C
Some kind of a sign that you've been through
F G C
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
F G C
And London never fails to leave me blue
F C
Paris really ain't my kind of town
G7 C
So I walked around with the Fort Worth Blues
