More chords by Guy Clark


A D A

The Lone Star Hotel Cafe is nothing but a dive,

D A E

and Florence Smith showed up there Lord, every day at five

A

Florence was a waitress

D

Have I mentioned that before?

A E A

Serving beer to strangers and to some she'd seen before

D G Bm D

Florence used to ride a little Apaloosa mare

A

In the barrel race at the rodeo, she had that beehive hair

D G D

There's a picture of her on the wall, as you pay your check

G D A D

Lord, didn't she look good back in nineteen fifty six?

A E A D A

I was loving Florence and she was ignoring me

D A E

Florence had experience, it was the first time out for me

A D A

Lord, I tried to tell her, but the only words I found

D A E A

Were "Give me greasy enchiladas and a beer to wash it down"

D G Bm D

Florence quit the Lone Star Hotel, and never was seen again

A

And me, I quit west Texas, and I ain't been back since then

D A D G Bm D

That was years ago, Lord, too many to recall?

G D A Bm D

But I remember Florence and them pictures on the wall

A D A

So here's to you west Texas, you old rodeo queen

D A E

How I miss your beer joints and shuffle board machines

A D A

Here's to you west Texas, how I miss the smell
