Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Right  in the middle of the ten  cent scenery
Shuffled  and stacked on a postcard  rack
There's  a cute little girl with a Shetland  pony
She  smiles at me but I  can't smile back
Cactus  Jack drinks coffee black
Tells  me it's my lucky  day
Five  o'clock in the Texas Morning
 And I've come a long, long way
Five  o'clock in the Texas Morning
 And I've come a long, long way
 She left me cold on a winter's morning
 And cold it's been for a long, long time
 She told me Texas was where she's going
 And I came looking but she's so hard to find
 Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
 Tells me it's my lucky day
 Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
 And I've come a long, long way
 Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
 And I've come a long, long way
 Oh, I  don't know just where  I'll find her,
Maybe  the soldier with the suitcase  saw her,
She  just said she was  goin' to Texas,  for a  little while
 So I'm looking  for a girl  with light brown hair,
 And hazel  eyes, and she's  not too pretty, but  a beautiful smile,
She  just said, 'Well I'm  goin' to Texas, for  a little while.'
 Cook in the back is gettin' curious,
 He asks the waitress where I'm from
 She just says 'Well, I've never seen him,
 He's prob'ly just a California bum.'
 Cactus Jack he says, 'That's right'
 As I walk out into the light
 Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
 And I've got a long, long ride
 Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
 And I've got a long, long ride
Outside,  the sun  is up
 And the wind  blows me
Like  a dixiecup
 Down the highway...

[Emaj7]Right in the middle of the [F#m]ten cent scenery

[Abm]Shuffled and stacked on a [A]postcard rack

[Emaj7]There's a cute little girl with a [F#m]Shetland pony

[Abm]She smiles at me but [A]I can't smile back

[F#]Cactus Jack drinks coffee [B]black

[F#]Tells me it's my [B]lucky day

[A]Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

And I've come a long, long [E]way

[A]Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

And I've come a long, long [E]way

She left me cold on a winter's morning
And cold it's been for a long, long time
She told me Texas was where she's going
And I came looking but she's so hard to find
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
Tells me it's my lucky day
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way

Oh, I[A] don't know just [A/Ab]where I'll find her,

[F#m]Maybe the soldier with the [G]suitcase saw her,

[D]She just said she [F]was goin' to [A]Texas, for [E7]a little while

So I'm [A]looking for a [A/Ab]girl with light brown hair,

And [F#m]hazel eyes, and [G]she's not too pretty, [D]but a beautiful smile,

[F]She just said, 'Well [A]I'm goin' to Texas, [E7]for a little while.'

Cook in the back is gettin' curious,
He asks the waitress where I'm from
She just says 'Well, I've never seen him,
He's prob'ly just a California bum.'
Cactus Jack he says, 'That's right'
As I walk out into the light
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride

[Emaj7]Outside, the su[F#m]n is up

And the win[Abm]d blows me

[A]Like a dixiecup

Down the highw[E]ay...
