Iād Like to Be in Texas for the Roundup In the Spring
D
In the lobby of a big hotel
G D
in New York town one day
Sat a bunch of fellows telling yarns
E7 A7
to pass the time a way
D
They told of places where they'd been
G D
and different things they'd seen
G D
Some preferred Chi cago town
A7 D
while others New Or leans
D
In a corner in an old armchair
G D
sat a man whose hair was gray
He listened to them eagerly
E7 A7
to what they had to say
D
They asked him where he'd like to be,
G D
his clear old voice did ring
G D
I'd like to be in Texas for the
A7 D
round-up in the spring
(Chorus)
D G
I can see the cattle grazing
D
o'er the hills at early morn
G
I can see the campfires smokin at
D A7
the breaking of the dawn
D A7
I can hear the bronco's neighing
G
I can hear the cowboy sing
D
I'd like to be in Texas for the
A7 D
round-up in the spring.
D
They sat and listened carefully
G D
to each word he had to say
They knew the old man sitting there
E7 A7
had been a top hand in his day
D
They asked him for a story of his
G D
life out on the plains
G D
Slowly he removed his hat
A7 D
then quietly began.
D
I've seen em stampede o'er the hills
G D
till you'd think they'd never stop
I've seen em run for miles and miles
E7 A7
until their leader dropped
D D
I was a foreman of a cow ranch
G D
the calling of a king
I'd like to be in Texas for the
A7 D
round-up in the spring.
D G
I can see the cattle grazing
D
o'er the hills at early morn
G
I can see the campfires smokin at
D A7
the breaking of the dawn
D A7
I can hear the bronco's neighing
G
I can hear the cowboy sing
D G
I'd like to sleep my last long sleep
D
with mother earth for bed
G
My saddle for a pillow,
D A7
the bright stars overhead
D A7
Then I could hear the last stampede,
G
the songs of rivers sing
D
Way back down in Texas for the
A7 D
round-up in the spring.
