The wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries
C G C
When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
F C
But if you listen tonight on that high, lonely plain
C G C
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
G C
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
C G C
You've been on a road that just don't seem to end
C G C
Where that broken old heart of yours won't ever mend
F C
You've crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
C G C
So many rivers and so much to learn
G C
So many bridges and so much to learn
F
But the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
C
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
F
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
C Bb C
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
C Bb C
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
SOLO
C G C
We both have known hard luck And love that's gone wrong
C G C
When the ghosts take the shadows and The night takes too long
F C
We folded our cards when the hand wasn't strong
C G C
But that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
C G C
Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
F
And the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
C
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
F
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
C Bb C
and I'll Waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
C Bb C
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
F
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
C Bb C
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
C Bb C
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
