San Antonio Stroll chords by Tanya Tucker

C             D7
When I was a child down in South Caroline

      F    G7     C
Soon's the Saturday sun went on down

                     D7
My folks and sister would go and leave me home all alone

         G7       C
Going to that big square dance in town


    Am            Em
Well my old radio would play that old opry show

   F     G7     C
So I never got lonesome or blue

     Am               Em
I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there

   D7           G7
Just singing the whole night through


    C
When my folks would come home

     D7
They'd be humming a song

    F       G7       Am
Mama'd smile and say child don't you know

       F
There ain't a thing in this world to make you

C         Am    D7   G7  C
Fall in love girl like the San Antonio Stroll


                 D7
Well the day finally come when my mama said hun

      F       G7     C
It's 'bout time you came with us as well

              D7
Well I had me a time yes I danced all the night

             G7       C
Till they rang that old cracked midnight bell


     Am
Then the lights went down low

      Em
The fiddler picked up his bow

    F         G7    C
And he played something stately and slow

    Am          Em
And my sister Irene and her husband to be


     D7         G7
They held hands and began to stroll

      C           D7
I've been away for a while but it still brings a smile

    F      G7     Am
When I think of the way that it goes

     F             C    A7
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do

     D7   G7 C
That old San Antonio Stroll


     F             C    A7
Now I'll sing it to you just so we both can do

     D7   G7  C
