West Texas Wind

Intro 
Am C D D 


                 G                  D 
It's a long thin line, it sure is a hot and dusty day 
    Am7                   C                   D 
And Colorado is more than eight hundred miles away 
            G                    D 
I called to tell you that I'd be home tomorrow night 
                 Am7           C          D 
If the roads are clear and the weather is right 


             G                      D 
Now to say I miss you is putting it lightly, can't you see 
                Am7                    C             D 
There's nothing better than having you lying next to me 
             G                         D 
Early in the morning, honey you're the first thing on my mind 
       Am7           C             D 
Like a rising sun to the travelin' kind 


           Am7                   G              D 
West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back 
              Am7       C          G        D 
Tuggin' at my heart and pullin' on my sleeve 
                 Am7                          C                     Em      Em 
You and this old guitar, you're always up for pickin' just one more song 
            Am7   Am/B     C           D     G 
if I listen long enough to you I might never leave 


                  G                                    D 
Now the lights of Denver, they're gonna shimmer in the deep red of the dawn 
            Am7             C             D 
And I'll be rollin' in, bleary-eyed and hangin' on 
                 G                     D 
And I'll grab my suitcase and slip it lightly through the door 
    Am7                 C            D 
And swear again I won't leave him anymore 

 
           Am7                   G              D 
West Texas Wind, tell me why you try to hold me back 
              Am7       C          G        D 
Tuggin' at my heart and pullin' on my sleeve 
                 Am7                          C                     Em      Em 
You and this old guitar, you're always up for pickin' just one more song 
            Am7   Am/B     C           D     G 
if I listen long enough to you I might never leave 

Outro 
             Am7   Am/B        C           D     G 
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave 
             Am7   Am/B        C           D     G 
And if I listen long enough to you I might never leave
