G
Vers:
G
Dallas packed her suitcase
CG
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
G
She made leaving me look easy
CG
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
D
I took her out of Texas
C
When she was just a girl
D
But old Tennessee and me
CD
Couldn't take Texas out of her
Chorus:
GCD
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
C
If I could move Texas east
D
Then she'd be here with me
GCD
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
CD
If Dallas was in Tennessee

Vers 2 (same chords as vers 1):
By now she's leaving Memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground
Chorus:
GCD
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
C
If I could move Texas east
D
Then she'd be here with me
GCD
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
CDG
If Dallas was in Tennessee
CDG
Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee
Outro:
G
Dallas packed her suitcase
CG
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
