Jerry Jeff Walker, Leavin' Texas Tabs
Artist/Band: Walker Jerry Jeff Tabs
Song: Leavin' Texas Tab
Leavin' Texas
By Jerry Jeff Walker & Dave Roberts
As slurred on "A Man Must Carry On."
Capo 3(?)
Intro: G (2 beats) C (2 beats) (3x)
G C G
Well now Texas, I am just a little lost and beaten' down
Em C D
Hell like a morning star thats ahead of me I am fadin' out
C Am7/B Am G Em
But If I make it to the borders of that Rio Grande
C D C (1 measure) G
Guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prarie
G C G
Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
Em C D
'cause I am alive again and with every footstep sett'n me free
C Am7/B Am G Em
If I keep my smile in touch with you the good times we spent in those hills
C D C D G
They will always be a part of me as I live in my Texas Memory
CHORUS:
C Am7/B Am G
Oh Texas I am just a little lost and beatn' down
Em C D
but like that morning star thats ahead of me that's fadin' out
C Am7/B Am G Em
I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
C D C G
So I can catch me one last sunset across the Prarie
SOLO (same as chorus except last line is like last line of 2nd verse)
I see everything seems to be movn on so I am movn on
I don't deny I get a loneliness that comes sometimes
and all the miles and all the footsteps going down
aint' how I keep a count, for every lonly stretch
for I just kept on for keepn' on
CHORUS (2x)
Ending: Em..... (fade)
Notes:
Every time a G is followed by an Em, you can play it like G G/F# Em with
the bass line decending (similar to C Am7/B Am)
Here's a little bit you can play when appropriate:
E
A
D
G
B 11 11 13 15 15
e 10 10 11 13 13
