C               F
Sister had a crystal voice
             C                F
She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward
C              F
Baez songs and Monroe hair
     C                         F
She sure could turn the boy's heads to stare
  Em               Am
Swim wear saunter, tan and haunt them
        F                 G
That's all she learned in school
Em                  Am
Books were for the other girls
          F               G
And the other girls were fools
F              G
Texas back in '69
      Am       G             F
Was drive-in movies and dashboard lights


C                    F
Father waltzed her down the aisle
     C              F
Cuz college didn't suit her style
C                        F
Sad truth was she could barely read
            C                         F
But if you told poor father, well he wouldn't believe you
      Em                  Am
The telephone rang drove Mother insane
          F                 G
With the hearts left on the shelf
    Em                  Am
Sister's gone and she won't be home
          F                 G
Cuz she never took care of herself
F            G
Texas back in '69
      Am       G              F
Was drive in movies and dashboard lights


Chorus:
F            G
Where is she now?
     C        G        Am           G
The backseat queen of fraternity
F           G
Where is she now?
       C        G        Am           G
She's heavy of thigh and light on integrity
F                   G
Someone should have told her
        C     G          Am
When beauty's all you offer
     F             G                           C       F
Too soon the world discovers that your bueaty's gone
C               F
(it's gone)


C                          F
Mother can't you hear your daughter crying
C                   F
Father wake up her youth is dying
    C                          F
Her kids are grown...husband's gone away
        C                       F
It's a shame cuz she had such a lovely face
Em                  Am
Can't you see she needed more
      F                 G
Than "Oh, what a pretty child!"
Em                    Am
You never taught her truth from lie
        F                G
All you told her was to smile
F              G
Texas back in '69
      Am       G            F
Was drive in movies and dashboard lights
