 D                     G *           D
In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright
       A7             D
Pretty lights red and blue
D                       G *         D
They  shut down all the honky tonks tonight
                A7               D
Say a prayer or two if they only knew
D                   G *              D
You used to say the highway was your home
            A7              D
But we both know that ain't true
D                  G *             D
It's just the only place a man can go
              A7                       D
When he don't know where he's travelin to
    G          A                D
But Colorado's always clean and healing
G            A                   D
Tennessee in Spring is green and cool
D               G *              D
It never really was your kind of town
            A7                          D
So you went around with the Forth Worth Blues
D             G  *             D 
Somewhere out across the great divide
                 A7                      D
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few
                  G *              D
A man can see his way clear to the light
             A7                         D
Just hold on tight that's all you gotta do
G                  A7               D
And they say Texas weather's always changin'
G                       A7                 D
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new
                   G *             D
And Houston really ain't too bad a town
            A7                        D
So you hung around with the Ft. Worth Blues

SOLO

D                        G *            D
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
       A7                   D
Silver light over green and blue
D                 G *       D          
And every place I travel to find
               A7                     D
Some kind of a sign that you've been through
     G            A7              D
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
G                A7                 D
And London never fails to leave me blue
D            G *               D
Paris really ain't my kind of town
            A7                         D  
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
