Verse 1
  G                            C           G
I's born in Louisiana, down on the old bay-ou;
C                    G            A                
Raised on shrimp and catfish,and Mammy's good 
D7
gum-bo.
  G                                  C
I got the ramblin' fever, said good- bye to maw 
    G
and paw;
C            Gdim    G    E7   A7      D7     G
Crossed that old Red River     this is what I saw.


Chorus
       G
I saw miles and miles of Texas, all the stars up in 
     D7
the sky;
       G                 C9           G
I saw miles and miles of Texas, gonna live here 
D7    G
'til I die.

Verse 2
 G                          C             G
I rode up in to Austin, the cradle of the West;
C            G             A7                D7
Just ask any cowboy, he'll tell you it’s the best.
      G                         C
And I met a Texas beauty, I got friendly with her 
G
Paw;
  C         Gdim  G       E7         A7
I looked in-to her big blue eyes, and this is 
D7     G
what I saw.


Chorus
       G
I saw miles and miles of Texas, all the stars up in 
     D7
the sky;
       G                 C9           G
I saw miles and miles of Texas, gonna live here 
D7    G
'til I die.

   G                           C          G
I started tamin' broncos, made every rode- o;
    C            G            A7
Un-til I met a tough one, his name was Devil 
D7
Joe.
  G                                   C
I grabbed hold of his bridle, just to ride this old 
    G
Out-law;

He threw me from the saddle, and this is what
