Lyle Lovett - Texas Trilogy guitar chord

Lyle Lovett

TEXAS TRILOGY

Intro:

Dm Em F Em Dm G A

VERSE 1

Dm Em

Six o'clock silence,

F Em

Of a new day beginning

Dm G A

Is heard in the small Texas town

Dm Em

Like a signal from nowhere

F Em

The people who live there

Dm G A

Are up and they're moving around

D7

'Cause there's bacon to fry

G7

And there's biscuits to bake

D7 G7

On the stove that the Salvation Army won't take

D7

And you open the windows

G7

And you turn on the fan

A A/G

'Cause it's hotter than hell

A/F A/E

When the sun hits the land

VERSE 2

Walter and Fanny

Well they own the grocery

That sells most of all that you need

They've been up and working

Since early this morning

They've got the whole village to feed

They put out fresh eggs

Throw bad ones away

That rotted because

Of the heat yesterday

The store's all dark

So you can't see the flies

That settle on round steak

And last Monday's pies

VERSE 3

Sleepy Hill's Drugstore

And the cafe they're open

The coffee is bubbling hot

And all the folks that ain't working

Gonna sit there 'till sundown

And talk about what they ain't got

Someone just threw a clutch

In the old pickup truck

It seems like they been riding

On a streak of bad luck

The doctors bills came

And the well has gone dry

Seems their grown kids don't care

Whether they live or die
