Intro 
C G C G C G D 


verse 1 
C               G 
He was just eighteen 
          C         G 
Full of fire and gasoline 
C               G 
He was lean and mean 
                    D 
And they called him Texas 


verse 2 
C               G 
He went off to war 
      C              G 
To a far and distant shore 
            C             G 
He'd never left his home before 
             D 
He was from Texas 


Pre-Chorus 
           Am                               D 
As they stormed that beach one foggy summer day 
          Am                                     D 
He said if I don't make it back promise me one thing 

C G Take me home if I die D Em When I'm gone don't ya cry C G D Find some shade right beside a live oak tree C G Sing those old songs of faith Am Em I'll fly away amazing grace C G D But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace C D G And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
verse 3 C G Well she was just eighteen C G Prettiest thing he'd ever seen C G Like a real life beauty queen D And someday she'd be his wife verse 4 C G But for the next four years C G She fought back her tears C G While he fought back his fears D Fighting for his life Pre-Chorus Am And in his darkest hours D Her love would bring him a light Am He would read her letters D He would pray at night
C G Take me home if I die D Em When I'm gone don't ya cry C G D Find some shade right beside a live oak tree C G Sing those old songs of faith Am Em I'll fly away amazing grace C G D But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace C D G And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
Bridge Am Em He always said the real heroes G D Never made it back home Am Em And though the war was long over G D You know for him it still lived on D And it still lives on Verse 5 C G When he was eighty-three C G Still full of fire and gasoline C G He was still lean and mean D And they still called him Texas Verse 6 C G And on the day he died C G She was right there by his side C G D She held his hand as she softly sang his lullaby
C G Take me home if I die D Em When I'm gone don't ya cry C G D Find some shade right beside a live oak tree C G Sing those old songs of faith Am Em I'll fly away amazing grace C G D But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace C D And you can bury me C D You can bury me C D G You can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
