  chorus 1:[A] If you're gonna play in [E]Texas,

               You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [A]band.

               That lead guitar is hot,

               [E]but not for [D]"Lousiana Man".[E]

               So [F#m]rosin up that [E]bow for "Faded Love"[D]

               and let's all [A]dance.

               If you're gonna play in [E]Texas, 

               You [D]gotta have a fiddle in the [F#m]band.

  F#m    E D   D   A   A   A   A

  

  verse 1:I re-[A]member down in Hou-[E]ston

          we were [D]puttin' on a show[A]

          When a cowboy in the back[E] stood up and [D]yelled,

          "Cotton-Eyed [E]Joe"!

          He said, "We love[A] what you're do-[E]in'.

          Boys[D] don't get us wrong[A],

          There's just somethin' [E]missin' in your [A]song.

  

  (repeat Chorus 1)

  

  verse 2:So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight.

          Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case.

          You say y'all all wanna two-step.  You say ya wanna doe-si-doe.

          Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go.

  

  (Chorus 2--same as chorus 1, except last line goes:

  ...gotta have a fiddle in the [A]band)

  

  repeat and fade

  

  Enjoy!
