A

   B               E
It gonna hit the  shore
       A
Gonnna tear up all the ranches
     D               A
Gonna kill old Galveston
A             E                A
Texas Tornado you all son of a gun
                     D             A
Texas Tornado coming down from the sky

Texas Tornado I dont wanna die
A                 D                  A

Texas Tornado be careful it don't get you

SOLO

A
It blew out Amarillo
     D                     A
Came thundering across the plains
A
People in Houston and  Corpus were crying
         B             E
Said the weathman was insane
            A
You better pack  up the kids and take the news
        D          A
In  the car on the run
A             E                 A 
Texas tornado you old  son of a gun
                     D             A
Texas Tornado coming down from the sky
A             B            E
Texas Tornado I dont wanna die
A                 D                  A
Texas Tornado the Lords gonna see us thru
A                E                     A
Texas Tornado be careful it don't get you
