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.
