Tuning: Standard, capo on the 2nd fret

Intro:
G 

Vers:
G
Dallas packed her suitcase
      C                                G
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
            G
She made leaving me look easy
    C                                G
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
    D
I took her out of Texas
      C
When she was just a girl
             D
But old Tennessee and me
                C           D
Couldn't take Texas out of her


Chorus:
    G           C                D
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
                  C
If I could move Texas east
       D    
Then she'd be here with me
       G                 C                D
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
      C      D
If Dallas was in Tennessee

Vers 2 (same chords as vers 1):
By now she's leaving Memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground

Chorus:
    G           C                D
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
                  C
If I could move Texas east
       D    
Then she'd be here with me
       G                 C                D
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
      C      D            G
If Dallas was in Tennessee
         C      D            G
Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee

Outro:
G
Dallas packed her suitcase
      C                                            G 
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
