Blame It on Texas

VERSE ONE
Been having a ball since I was a boy in Beaumont.
I loved that town but I just couldn't stay.
Two-stepped all the way to Ama-rillo, slide
Shuffled my way into Santa Fe.
I just had to see the sun set out in Frisco.
F#m D E E7(STOP)
The Golden Gate is great, but it ain't home.
NC A -A/A (STOP)
Give me a rodeo.
CHORUS
NC D A
Blame it on Texas,...Don't blame it on me.
I am what I am,..And that's what I'm gonna be.
D A D (STOP)
You can say what you wanna say,...About my in-san-ity.
Blame it on Texas,.(slide)...Don't blame it on me.
INSTRUMENTAL TURNAROUND
VERSE TWO
Met a girl out in eastern Okla-homa.
Her daddy was a Tulsa million-aire.
With miles and miles of oil wells, he'd leave her.
Well all a man could want was waiting there.
But one night while she lay sleeping, I slipped away.
F#m D E E7(STOP)
Like no man in his right mind would do.
NC A - A/A
Call me a fool
CHORUS REPEAT
NC D A
Blame it on Texas,...Don't blame it on me.
I am what I am,...And that's what I'm gonna be.
D A D (STOP)
You can say what you wanna say,..About my in-san-ity.
Blame it on Texas,.(slide)...Don't blame it on me.
TAGG
A A7 D (STOP)
