My Heart's Tonight In Texas

Intro:G C G D G 


             G                                  C            G 
    In the distant state of Texas by the silver Rio Grande, 
                                                            D 
    strolled a couple out one evening, was two sweethearts hand in hand. 
              G                                          C                    G 
    Was a rich man's pretty daughter and the lad she loved so dear, 
                                         D                 G 
    though tomorrow they must part for many a year. 



      G                                           C                  G 
My heart's tonight in Texas, though I'm far across the sea, 
                                                  D 
the band is playing "Dixie" and there's where I long to be. 
       G                                   C                 G 
Dad says an earl I'll marry but although here is my hand, 
                                            D            G 
my heart's tonight in Texas by the silver Rio Grande. 

( G C G D G ) 

         G                                  C              G 
    To Europe she was going to become a lady grand, 
                                                                 D 
    where her father hopes an earl, of course, she'll wed, 
               G                                         C                  G 
    but she went away next morning and her heart was true to Jack, 
                                D                   G 
    for a letter came one day and this it read : 



            G                                      C                 G 
    At a stately ball in England stood the Texas lad one night, 
                                                D 
    the scenes were splendid and the lights were dazzling bright. 
             G                                             C              G 
    It was there the earl knelt beside her asking her to be his bride, 
                                        D            G           
    but her thoughts were by the silver Rio Grande.
