Suitable for mid-tempo songs.
Recommended Pattern:

1 2& &4&
Or, for a clearer country feel: Emphasize downstrokes, playing the bass before the chords (boom-chuck). Key: C# Major, as in the original song.
Because the strings are tuned a half-step to Eb, the tunings Eb, G#, C#, F#, Bb, and Eb can be played in the key of D using the chords Em, D, G, A, and Bm, just like the original song. Method 2: Tune your guitar to the standard key of E, A, D, G, B, and E.
Use a capo on the 1st fret and play in the key of C using the chords Dm, C, F, G, and Am respectively.
The mood of the song is warm, free, sincere, down-to-earth, yet powerful, stable, and non-dramatic.
Key: C# Original key D#m C# F# G# A#m

[Verse 1]
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
I should've known better than to take him back to Abilene
I put him right back into her arms
I wasn't a match for that kind of spark
[Chorus]
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
He's two-stepping 'round the room
And judging by the smile that's written on his face
There's nothing I can do
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Drinking Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
[Verse 2]
Well, I guess he forgot about the Smoky Mountain rain
Them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing
He always loved "Amarillo by Morning"
I should've taken that as a warning
[Chorus]
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
He's two-stepping 'round the room
And judging by the smile that's written on his face
There's nothing I can do
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Drinking Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
[Bridge]
When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry
'Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile
I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change
'Cause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State
[Chorus]
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
He's two-stepping 'round the room
And judging by the smile that's written on his face
There's nothing I can do, naw, yeah
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Drinking Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell, no
Drinking Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
[Outro]
Come on, baby
Oh yeah
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
