Choosin’ Texas Uke tab by Ella Langley

INTRO: Dm - C - Dm - F - C x2 

             Dm                                    C
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
                Dm                                 C
I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene
          F
I put him right back into her arms
         G
I wasn't a match for that kinda spark


(Chorus)
                        F
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
                             C
He's two steppin' 'round the room
                  Dm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
                      G
There's nothin' I can do
                  F
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
                Am
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
                     F
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
               G           C
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell

            Dm                                   C
Well, I guess he forgot about the Smoky Mountain rain
          Dm                                      C
Them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing
          F 
He always loved Amarillo By Morning
                G
I shoulda taken that as a warning


(Chorus)
                        F
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
                             C
He's two steppin' 'round the room
                  Dm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
                      G
There's nothin' I can do
                  F
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
                Am
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
                     F
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
               G           C
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell


(Bridge)
               F                                G
When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry
        Am                 G
'Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile
       F                       G
I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change
          Dm                          G
'Cause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State 


(Chorus)
                        F
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
                             C
He's two steppin' 'round the room
                  Dm
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
                      G
There's nothin' I can do
                  F
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
                Am
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
                     F
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
         G                  C
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
                     F
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
         G                  C
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell


(OUTRO) 
     Dm 
Come on, baby

Dm - C - Dm - F - C

     C
Oh, yeah
             Dm                                    C
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
