Aloha Texas

(Dirje Smith, John B. Smith, & David Hendley, © copyright 2010 Buddha Frau Musik, ASCAP)

Verse 1

Db6-D6                   A7#5*          Db6-D6                                B7

Aloha in Texas is a big howdy, we ain’t got beaches like in Waikiki

                G6          A7                       D6              B7                   E7                                         A7      (Ab7 A7)

But we’re big sky friendly and we want you to know, you can still spread a blanket at the Gulf of Mexico

Db6-D6                               A7#5              Db6-D6                               B7

Grab your Hawaiian shirt, ten-gallon hat, grass skirt and coconuts, cowboy boots and chaps

 G6                        Abdim7*       D6           B7     E7                    A7             D6     A#7-A7

Wear damn near anything and still get a date, aloha from the Lone Star State

Verse 2

We like our honky-tonks and western swing, three long necks later we like just about anything 

Willy and Waylon, steel guitar and dobro, but after midnight do the hula with Don Ho 

Orchids and lilies are alright, I suppose, but we still love our San Antonio Rose 

We’ll teach you to two-step, hula till it’s late, aloha from the Lone Star State

Bridge

 Bm                                          F#                                            Bm                            F#

Smokin’ volcanoes, that’s the one thing we ain’t got, but our Texas campfire chili burns just as hot

        Bm                                    F#                                         E7                                            A7

Our barbeque and ribs are the best you’ve ever tried, we’ll even serve you fish, but its gotta be deep fried

Verse 3

We like to party when the sun goes down, barbeque a pig but we don’t put it in the ground

Bring your ukulele and your slack key guitar, we’ll throw in twin fiddles and be swingin’ on a star

Romance your baby in the Lone Star way, you might be in Texas but you can still get a lei

Hawaii and Texas, there’s no need to bifurcate, aloha from the Lone Star State,

Tag

     D6               B7         E7                  A7           D6

Hey ya’ll and howdy, aloha from the Lone Star State

                   B7         E7                   A7             D6     Db6   D6   Db6  D6-Db6-D6

We really mean it, aloha from the Lone Star State!
