Chords for Screw You, We're From Texas - Ray Wylie Hubbard

_ _ I was down in Corpus [Bb] Christi and these [B] people came in, we were playing down there this gig
and I said these people came in and they were rich and they were drunk and they were from Nashville.
I [G] like rich [N] people, I like drunk people, I like people from Nashville.
But three of those qualities in two people, they were a little [Gbm] overbearing.
So anyhow, [Dm] they _ got a little grandiose and they [C] started shouting out requests and I said
I [G] don't know them.
They said it's the [Dm] latest country [Gbm] western, top 40 country song [D] from Nashville.
And I said I don't know it.
I said down here in Texas, we write our [E] own songs.
[Bm] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] We [Am] don't have some A&R [Eb] weasel guy [Dm] telling us what to play.
We write our own songs.
So where's Benson and Blind [Eb] Lemon Jefferson?
We just write our own songs.
[N] They said oh you need to, you know, they started really going on about all the Nashville stuff.
I said people, in my opinion, the stuff coming [Dm] out of Nashville today [D] is repulsive.
[G] It's not even funny.
I said how can you say, I said in my [D] opinion, country music [Db] started going downhill the day
Johnny Cash quit doing [Em] pills. _ _ _
_ They said how can you say that?
[D] I said here's how I can say that.
When I was [N] 17 years old, I saw Johnny Cash play in Dallas, Texas at the McFarland [G] Auditorium.
He was up there, he had flat scrubs over [Db] the show.
I'll tell you what an old [Abm] cat I am.
The Stadler brothers were there, the Carter family, the Tennessee Three.
[Ab] It was an _
[D] incredible show.
This was two days before Johnny got busted for bringing [Bm] amphetamines back across the
[Ebm] border from Mexico into Texas.
But that night he was incredible.
He did [Abm] this one hour, hour and a half show and he did it in about 40 [N] minutes. _ _ _
I really enjoyed that.
[Ab] _ _ _
So anyhow, I [Em] said that's how I can say it.
[E] _ So anyhow, _ [G] they got [Dbm] a little crazy and everything.
[Em] So I went out in the alley and I wrote the first verse and the chorus of this and sang
it to them and then later on I [B] wrote the [E] other. _ _ _

[B] _ [E] I guess I'll go out some corner around the dope dealer who's out on bail just trying
to get home.
[Em] _ [E] But I ain't in jail.
I got me a guitar.
I got a little band that's hotter than a rocket.
_ [D] _

_ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
don't get me wrong.
Now I love the USA and the other states.
I believe that they're okay. _ _
But Texas is the place that I want to be and I doubt if I'll ever get a gig in Nashville now anyway.
Why would I want to go?

and in Washington and Waco.
And our corporations, yeah, some of them are a little corrupt and are politicians.
Some of them are loco.
But when it comes to music, [Em] my friend, I can't believe that these words [E] aren't true.
Let's thank John the [D] Revelator.
