[Intro]
D*
[Verse 1]
DG
He was born in Virginia,
DG
In the Shenadoah Valley,
DGEmA
Right about the time that this country got free,
DG
When his father died they left,
DG
Packed it up and headed west,
DGEmA
To the hills that put the east in Tennessee,
D
Say Ho.
[Interlude]
D*
[Verse 2]
DG
A man has got to make his mark,
DG
And the second British war did start,
DGEmA
He was bored so he joined and went along,
DG
Took an arrow in the hip,
DG
A ball in the shoulder but he ever quit,
DGEmA
Still full of fight when they finally dragged him home,
D
Say ho.
[Interlude]
D*
[Chorus 1]
F#mBm
Reading Homer to some Cherokee maidens,
F#mBm
And you know how Tennessee is in the fall,
F#mBm
If you're not gonna make your dreams epic,
EmAsus4
Why bother to dream anything at all?
[Verse 3]
DG
He met a man named Andy Jack,
DG
Who put him on the Nashville map,
DGEmA
But even then that town could piss you off,
DG
You partied hard and ran the state,
DG
Found a girl to take his name,
DGEmA
And they still don't know why he up and left it all,
D
Say Ho.
[Interlude]
D*
[Chorus 2]
F#mBm
Never trust nobody when you're drinking,
F#mBm
Lest you get insulted or rolled,
F#mBm
Drink too much you'll pickle up your instinct,
EmAsus4
And then you can’t trust anyone at all.
[Verse 4]
DG
Half mystic and half showman,
DG
Half poet and half sage,
DGEmA
And way too stubborn to ever admit defeat,
DG
Although Texas was no state,
DG
San Jacinto was the place,
DGEmA
That destiny was ready to be seized,
D
Say Ho.
[Interlude]
D*
[Verse 5]
DG
Well Texas he created you,
DG
And three times he did save you too,
DGEmA
And tried to help you make it on your own,
DG
You joined the union anyway,
DG
And when he thought you should stay,
DGEmA
You turned your back on him and sent him home.
[Chorus 3]
F#mBm
Is there anyone still left so full of honor,
F#mBm
You can trust everything you heard?
F#mBm
In Texas anywhere that you may wander,
EmAsus4
Sam Houston was the man that kept his word.
