Intro
A# F A# F A# F C
[Verse 1]
A# F
He was just eighteen
A# F
Full of fire and gasoline
A# F
He was lean and mean
C
And they called him Texas
[Verse 2]
A# F
He went off to war
A# F
To a far and distant shore
A# F
He'd never left his home before
C
He was from Texas
[Pre-chorus]
Gm C
As they stormed that beach one foggy summer day
Gm C
He said if I don't make it back promise me one thing
[Chorus]
A# F
Take me home if I die
C Dm
When I'm gone don't ya cry
A# F C
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
A# F
Sing those old songs of faith
Gm Dm
I'll fly away amazing grace
A# F C
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
A# C F
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
[Verse 3]
A# F
Well she was just eighteen
A# F
Prettiest thing he'd ever seen
A# F
Like a real life beauty queen
C
And someday she'd be his wife
[Verse 4]
A# F
But for the next four years
A# F
She fought back her tears
A# F
While he fought back his fears
C
Fighting for his life
[Pre-chorus]
Gm
And in his darkest hours
C
Her love would bring him a light
Gm
He would read her letters
C
He would pray at night
[Chorus]
A# F
Take me home if I die
C Dm
When I'm gone don't ya cry
A# F C
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
A# F
Sing those old songs of faith
Gm Dm
I'll fly away amazing grace
A# F C
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
A# C F
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
[Bridge]
Gm Dm
He always said the real heroes
F C
Never made it back home
Gm Dm
And though the war was long over
F C
You know for him it still lived on
C
And it still lives on
[Verse 5]
A# F
When he was eighty-three
A# F
Still full of fire and gasoline
A# F
He was still lean and mean
C
And they still called him Texas
[Verse 6]
A# F
And on the day he died
A# F
She was right there by his side
A# F C
She held his hand as she softly sang his lullaby
[Chorus]
A# F
Take me home if I die
C Dm
When I'm gone don't ya cry
A# F C
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
A# F
Sing those old songs of faith
Gm Dm
I'll fly away amazing grace
A# F C
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
A# C
And you can bury me
A# C
You can bury me
A# C F
You can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
