G C G - [riff 3x]
C D7+9
along the Palo Duro canyon
C Dsus4
Red River shows so many eyes
C Dsus4 C Dsus4 - D
one eye squinting, shaded from the sun, shoot me
C D7+9
black as oil, his hair shone
C
lily white, his skin glistened
Dsus4 C Dsus4 - D
restless as the reed between his lips blew
C G D
it's just that mean old Texas sun
C G C D
it makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
G C G - [riff 3x]
C D7+9
what day is this? i, quiet, asked the sky
C Dsus4
what time is it? he asked me, sitting up
C G D
love that villain on the run
C G C D
he's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
C D7+9
what are you running from? i asked the white boy
C Dsus4
from the guys who chase me there; come run
C
i need your dark skin
Am D7+9
to sit beside me in my car, and light up my cigar
i'll light you
C G D
it's just that mean old Texas sun
C G C D
it makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
C G D
love that villain on the run
C G C D
he's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
C G C D
and dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
C D7+9
he said you're only Indian in Oklahoma
C Dsus4
you could be melting in America
C D7+9
white on red, melt with my skin
C D7+9
these two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel
C
i need your dark skin
Am D7+9
to sit beside me in my car, and light up my cigar
i'll light you
C G D
it's just that mean old Texas sun
C G C D
it makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
G C G - [riff 3x]
C D7+9
the last i saw of Oklahoma
C Dsus4
a gas station fading in the dusk
C D7+9
goodbye my father, i thought, i'm carrying the light
C D7+9
the light of my Comanche
C
make sure the dog remebers me,
Am
i dream the sand beneath your feet
D7+9
i hold the light
C G D
it's just that mean old Texas sun
C G C D
it makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
C G D
love that villain on the run
C G C D
he's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
C G C G C G C
and dizzy dizzy dizzy dizzy dizzy dizzy dizzy
D
in my head
