G A C G 
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
G                A 
Oh, it's hot in Texas 
 
C                       G 
About as hot as it can get 
 
G                   A 
Mesquite trees and cactus 
 
C                        G 
Are trying hard not to sweat 
 
G                  A 
Over yonder's that old paisano 
 
    C                       G 
He's hunting him a bit of shade 
 
G                             A 
But the tadpoles in the cow trough 
 
C                      G 
Man, they sure got it made 
 
G                  A 
Buried under that cool green moss 
 
C                          G 
Down where the sun don't shine 
 
G                    A 
Cool in the hottest weather 
 
C                          G 
Man, they're cool all the time 
 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
 
G                A 
Oh, I'd like to join them 
 
C                   G 
Wonder if there is room 
 
G                 A 
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy 
 
C                   G 
Tadpoles make some room 
 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
G                A 
Oh, my burden's heavy 
 
C                      G 
I carry such a mighty load 
 
G                  A 
Up above soars an eagle 
 
C                G 
I wonder if he knows 
 
G                  A 
What I'd give to trade with him 
 
C            G 
Go where he goes 
 
G                A 
I wonder if that old eagle knows 
 
C                                      G 
What I'd give to know the heights he knows 
 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
 
G                A 
Oh, I'd like to join him 
 
C                   G 
Wonder if there is room 
 
G                 A 
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy 
 
C                G 
Eagle make some room

Verse 3: 
 
A                      B 
Some day will come a blue norther 
 
D                     A 
Big wind and lots of rain 
 
A                       B 
I'd love to be like a grand blue norther 
 
D                 A 
Blow away all my pain 
 
A                          B 
I'd let it all out in one mighty big breath 
 
D                      A 
Dump my tears on the plains 
 
A                             B 
Yeah, I'd love to be like a grand blue norther 
 
D                 A 
Blow away all my pain

A                B 
Oh, I'd like to join him 
 
D                     A 
I wonder if there is room 
 
A                 B 
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy 
 
D                  A 
Norther make some room
