LUCKENBACH TEXAS – Guitar Lesson

Waylon Jennings recorded this HUGE country hit in 1977. It presents a strong case for getting back to basics in small town. Sounds good huh? Here's your Luckenbach Texas guitar lesson!

G                           D7                      G

There're only two things in life that make it worth living

     C                      D7           G

It's guitars tuned good and firm feeling women

C                                   G

I don't need my name in the marquis lights

   C                   D7            G

I got my song and I got you with me tonight

                       D7                    G

Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

 

                                                            C

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boy's

       D7                                                           

This successful life we're living got us

                                G

Feuding like the Hatfield's and McCoy's

                                                     

Between Hank William's pain song's and Newberry's train songs

     C                       Am

And Blue Eye's Crying in the Rain 

         D7       Am     D7                      G

Out in Luckenbach Texas  ain't nobody feeling no pain

 

 

So baby let's sell your diamond ring

Am                 D7               G

Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away

 

This coat and tie is choking me

Am             D7        G

in your high society you cry all day

G7

We've been so busy keeping up with the Jones'

C                         A7

Four car garage and we're still building on

C          G            D7                     G

Maybe it's time  we got back to the basic's of love
