[Intro]
A D G C

[Verse 1]
C G
He was a honky tonk hero
E Am
She was a west Texas rose
F C
He had his hands clenched in hatred
D G
And she made the sweet flowers grow
C G
They met on a Saturday evenin'
E Am
At a place called the Last Chance Saloon
F C
Her hand in his stopped his tremblin'
C G C
Ad he laughed as they danced 'cross the room

[Chorus]
A D
The jukebox was playing a beautiful song
G C
A tune called the West Texas Waltz
A D
And it seemed like the whole world was dancin' along
G C
With the music controlling it all

[Instrumental]
C G E Am
F C C G C

[Verse 2]
C G
Away, come away from that window
E Am
Come lay down beside me a while
F C
You know I stepped out of the shadows
D G
To walk in the warmth of your smile
C G
Nobody knows me like you do
E Am
You changed me and made me your man
F C
I gave up the life of an outlaw
C G C
The day that you gave me your hand
