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
