Texas In 1880 chords by Radney Foster

G C Em C

Em
I can hear the wind whisper my name
G
Tellin? me it?s time to head out again
  D
My horses are trailered and the lights are shutdown
  C
I?m long overdue for headin? outta town
   Em
Gotta fever that they call the rodeo
G
Just enough winners and make the next show
  D
Sometimes you make eight sometimes you hit dirt
   C
Go on pin another number to the back of my shirt?

(CHOURS)
     G     D  C
And I?ll ride that pony fast
    G   D    C
Like a cowboy from the past
  G     D    C
Be young and wild and free
   G    D C
Like Texas in 1880
     G    D C
Just like Texas in 1880


Em
Awe, from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome
   G
From New York City down to San Antone
    D
There?s boys that are ridin? for 🏷Legendary fame
    C
And our money?s all gone but they still ride the same
  Em
Our hearts are getting? broken

And our heads are getting? busted
G
We?ll always believe in the things that we trusted
    D
They?ll be those nights when glory comes round
     C
And we?ll tip our hats and wave to the crowd?


(CHOURS)
     G     D  C
And I?ll ride that pony fast
    G   D    C
Like a cowboy from the past
  G     D    C
Be young and wild and free
   G    D C
Like Texas in 1880
     G    D C
Just like Texas in 1880


(BRIDGE)
D
Someday when you?re older someone?ll see
   Em
That buckle hangin? there on your belt
C
Askin? just how it felt?


(CHOURS)
     G     D  C
And I?ll ride that pony fast
    G   D    C
Like a cowboy from the past
  G     D    C
Be young and wild and free
   G    D C
Like Texas in 1880
     G    D C
Just like Texas in 1880
