        Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antone
      A                             E
        I grew up on music that we called western swing

        Lord i can still remember,the way things were back then
                                                         B
        In spite of all the hard times,i'd live it all again
      A                                 E
        To hear the Texas playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
                                                   B                  E
