Texas Tea Tab par The Jakes

Bb  -  Eb  -  F


      Bb
I'm waiting for the sun to rise
                      Eb      F
So I can find my way back to Texas
    Bb
But oh it's still dark outside
                      Eb        F
'Cuz I can taste the fire on my lips


         Bb                         Eb      F
And so I say to lord, I'm so tired of this mess
          Bb
But this nation still burns at night
              Eb       F
Our ribs the coal of progress

   
    Eb        F                   Eb
So hey, get away from here, old ghost
          F                  Eb
We don't like your kind, soldier
                      F
Defend this land and fight

 
Bb 
The fields of corn they turn to dust
                     Eb       F
Said the cross-eyed boy from Pawnee
     Bb
The old machines are laid to rest
              Eb            F
New England stars, they're lovely


                Bb
And so I say to him, boy,
              Eb     F
Have you seen men in these parts
Bb
Hey hey yeah yeah
                  Eb   F
Black gold swims under the dirt


    Eb        F                   Eb
So hey, get away from here, old ghost
          F                  Eb
We don't like your kind, soldier
                      F
Defend this land and fight
