[Chorus] [A] All my Ex’s live in [E] Texas And Texas is the place I’d really [B7] love [A#] to [A] be.   All my Ex’s Live in [E] Texas And that’s why I hang my [E7] hat in Tennes-[A]-see

[Verse] [A] Rosanna’s down in Texarkana [Bm] wanted me to push her broom. [E] Sweet Eileen’s in [E7] Abilene, she [E] forgot I hung the [A] moon.  And Allison’s in Galveston, [Bm] somehow lost her sanity. And [B7] Dimples, who now lives in Temple’s got the [E] law lookin’ for [E7] me

[Chorus] [A] All my Ex’s live in [E] Texas And Texas is the place I’d really [B7] love [A#] to [A] be All my Ex’s Live in [E] Texas And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennes-[A]-see

[Verse] [A] I remember that ole Frio river [Bm] Where I learned to swim But it [E7] brings to mind another time Where I wore my welcome [A] thin By Transedental Meditation I [Bm] go there each night But I [B7] always come back to myself, [E] long before daylight

[Chorus] [A] All my Ex’s live in [E] Texas And Texas is the place I’d really [B7] love [A#] to [A] be All my Ex’s Live in [E] Texas But I’m alive and well in [A] ARIZONA.
