Chords Used - Note that through the verses, these chords are slid up a half note to give a jazz feel.

on the Dmaj7 chord, alternating between the 7th fret on the 5th and 6th strings on the turn back to the
Gadd9 chord, another nuance you can pick up listening to the recordings and watching the various videos.

[Verse 1]
Gadd9Well I'm sittin' down in San Anton'
Waiting on an Dmaj7eight o'clock train
My Gadd9woman left me here last night
Things ain't been Dmaj7quite the same
I gottaGadd9 get back to Dallas
And tie up aDmaj7 few loose ends
I'm gonna Gadd9work a week make a hundred dollars
Aw and hit the Dmaj7road again
[Chorus]
So I don't wGant you to think
That you're the first one
To leave meDmaj7 out here on my own
Cause this Gmain't gonna be the fF#mirst time
This Emol' cowbA9oy spent the nDmaj7ight alone Gadd9
[Verse 2]
Now Gadd9honey I've been a fool but a bigger fool
I can't remember Dmaj7when I've been
Just toGadd9 open up my heart
And let youDmaj7 walk right in
Now tGadd9here's one thing in this life
Ain't Dmaj7hard for me to do
That's asGadd9 soon as I kiss the lips of another woman
I'm gonna Dmaj7forget all about you
[Chorus]
So I don't wGant you to think
That you're the first one
To leave meDmaj7 out here on my own
No this Gmain't gonna be the fF#mirst time
This Emol' cowbA7susoy spent the nighDmaj9t alone D6sus2
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
If you Gadd9wrote all the woman's names down I know
And let me Dmaj7pick one out
I don't Gadd9think there'd be one in the whole bunch
Aw I'd give aDmaj7 hoot about
[Chorus]
Ends with A7sus Dmaj9
