G
He was just eighteen
D
Full of fire and gasoline
Em
He was lean and mean
C
And they called him Texas
G
He went off to war
D
To a far and distant shore
Em
He'd never left his home before
C
He was from Texas

G                    D
As they stormed that beach one foggy summer day
Em                 C
He said if I don't make it back promise me one thing

G
Take me home if I die
D
When I'm gone don't ya cry
Em
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
C
Sing those old songs of faith
G
I'll fly away amazing grace
D
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
Em                  C
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas

G
Well she was just eighteen
D
Prettiest thing he'd ever seen
Em
Like a real life beauty queen
C
And someday she'd be his wife

G
But for the next four years
D
She fought back her tears
Em
While he fought back his fears
C
Fighting for his life

G
And in his darkest hours
D
Her love would bring him a light
Em
He would read her letters
C
He would pray at night

G
Take me home if I die
D
When I'm gone don't ya cry
Em
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
C
Sing those old songs of faith
G
I'll fly away amazing grace
D
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
Em                  C
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas

G
He always said the real heroes
D
Never made it back home
Em
And though the war was long over
C
You know for him it still lived on
And it still lives on

G
When he was eighty-three
D
Still full of fire and gasoline
Em
He was still lean and mean
C
And they still called him Texas
G
And on the day he died
D
She was right there by his side
Em                                            C
She held his hand as she softly sang his lullaby

G
Take me home if I die
D
When I'm gone don't ya cry
Em
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
C
Sing those old songs of faith
G
I'll fly away amazing grace
D
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
Em
And you can bury me
C
You can bury me
You can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
