After spending four days in New Jersey and New York this summer, I came to
appreciate this song ( and the women) even more.
Texas Women
By: Hank Williams Jr.
Transcribed by: Jeff Gary
Intro: D
Verse:
D A
I’ve got some fond memories of San Angelo
D
And I’ve seen some beauty queens in El Paso
G
But the best lookin’ women that I’ve ever seen
D A D
Have all been in Texas, and all wearin’ jeans
Chorus:
G D A D
I’m a country plowboy not a urban cowboy
G D E A
And I don’t ride bulls, but I have fought some men
G D A D
Drive a pickup truck trust in God and luck
G D CAD
And I live to love Texas women
Verse: (same as the first)
I thought I’d seen beauty in far away places
‘Til I looked upon those Houston faces
Spent Hollywood nights up in Beverly Hills
But they weren’t nothin’ like one night down in Brownsville
Chorus:
Key change to E
E B
I’m a pretty fair judge of the opposite sex
E
And I ain’t seen nothin’ that will touch ‘em yet
A
They may be from Waco or out in Lampasas
E B E
But one thing about it they all come from Texas
Chorus:
Bridge:
A E B E
I’m an Oilier fan not a soccer man
A E F B
And my arms are red and so is my blood
A E B E
And they make it boil with that soft Texas drawl
A E DBE
And I love ‘em all Texas women
