I Can't Go Back To Austin chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [A] [B]
[E]
Well I was playing a job with a band And a real pretty girl grabbed me by [B] the hand
And in a flash we were gone Straight out of Motel Lund, through [E] dawn
Well I knew that her old man was mad He didn't understand the fun [B] we had
I put that guitar player on the floor Now I can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
[A] Can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
I don't want to wind up much doubt Some Texas [B] hardwood wall
[E] That night she held my dreams She [A] was part of all my schemes
[B] I can't go back to Austin
[E] anymore
Well [A]
[B]
[E]
I think of that girl now and then I think about the way things [B] might have been
Every night Texas haunts me in my dreams [F#m] [B] That girl was part of all [E] my schemes
Someday if I ever return Well right until then my heart [B] will burn
That girl she opened every door Now I can't go back to Austin
[E] anymore
[A] Can't go back to Austin
[E] anymore
I don't want to wind up much doubt Some Texas [B] hardwood wall
That [E] night she held my dreams [G#] She [A] was part of all my schemes
Now [B] I can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
I [F#m] [B] can't go back to Austin [E] anymore
[B] [E]
