      D                A 
There nailing down the doors 
A 
It's gonna hit tonight now 
   B               E 
It gonna hit the  shore 
       A 
Gonnna tear up all the ranches 
     D               A 
Gonna kill old Galveston 
A             E                A 
Texas Tornado you all son of a gun 
                     D             A 
Texas Tornado coming down from the sky 
A             B            E 
Texas Tornado I dont wanna die 
A                 D                  A 
Texas Tornado the Lords gonna see us thru 
A                E                     A

A 
It blew out Amarillo 
     D                     A 
Came thundering across the plains 
A 
People in Houston and  Corpus were crying 
         B             E 
Said the weathman was insane 
            A 
You better pack  up the kids and take the news 
        D          A 
In  the car on the run 
A             E                 A  
Texas tornado you old  son of a gun 
                     D             A 
Texas Tornado coming down from the sky 
A             B            E 
Texas Tornado I dont wanna die 
A                 D                  A 
Texas Tornado the Lords gonna see us thru 
A                E                     A 
Texas Tornado be careful it don't get you
