Texas Morning – Michael Murphey

[Bm]Right in the middle of a [C] ten cent scenery 
[Cm]Shuffled and stacked on a [Am] post card [C] rack 
There's a [Bm]  cute little girl with a [C] Shetland pony. 
She [Cm] smiles at me but I [Am] can't smile [C] back. 

And old [Bm] Cactus Jack drinks [Am] coffee black 
[Bm] Tells me it's my [Am] lucky day. 

[F] Five o'clock in the [Cm] Texas Morning  
And [F] I've come a long, long [Cm] way.          
 [F] Five o'clock in the [Cm] Texas Morning  
And [F] I've come a long, long [Cm]  way. 

[Bm] She left me cold on a [C] Winter's morning 
[Cm] And cold it's been for a [Am] long, long [C] time. 
She told me [Bm] Texas was where [C] she's goin' 
And [Cm] I've come looking 
but she's [Am] so hard to [C] find. 

And old [Bm] Cactus Jack drinks [Am] coffee black 
[Bm] Tells me it's my [Am] lucky day. 

[F] Five o'clock in the [Cm] Texas Morning  
And [F] I've come a long, long [Cm] way.          
 [F] Five o'clock in the [Cm] Texas Morning  
And [F] I've come a long, long [Cm] way.

A Oh, [Bm] I don't know just [C] where I'll find her. 
[Cm] Maybe the soldier with the [Bm] suitcase saw [Cm] her. 
[C]  She just said she was [F] goin' to Texas 
for A A little [Em] while. 

So I'm [Bm] lookin' for a girl with [C] light brown hair,  
And [Cm] hazel eyed, she's [Bm] not too pretty, 
she's got a [C]  beautiful smile. 
[F] She just said, "Well, I'm [Cm] goin' to Texas 
for A [Am] little [C] while." 
 
Bridge   [Bm] [C] [Cm] [Am] [C]
 
[Bm] Cook in the back he's [C] gettin' curious, 
[Cm] He asks the waitress [Am] where I'm [C] from. 
[Bm] She just says, "Hell, [C] I aint never seen him.   
He's [Cm] prob'ly just a [Am] California [C] bum." 

[Bm] Cactus Jack drinks [Am] coffee black 
[Bm] Tells me it's my [Am] lucky day. 

[F] Five o'clock in the [Cm] Texas Morning  
And [F] I've come a long, long [Cm] way.          
 [F] Five o'clock in the [Cm] Texas Morning  
And [F] I've come a long, long [Cm]  way. 

[Bm] Outside, the [C7] sun is up 
And the [Bm] wind blows me, 
Like a [Cm] paper cup [C] Down the [G] highway 
 
End.
